"The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance"
Hey guys and gals I’m back.
I have rekindled my creative aspirations and found sufficient time to pursuit it. Today I bring you a new Dream.
Stepping a way from PMC has allowed me to analyze my small trek into this world. I have come out of it with a few conclusions. As a result I want to redirect the current path to a much more meaningful endgame.
Meaningful is key. Interactions is key. Community is key.
In this new PMC era I want to pursuit the creation of a community of like-minded people; to share, inspire, and challenge. I want my projects to invite this type of atmosphere.
To further elaborate on this.
Views Download Diamonds and Favourites are very superficial interactions.
I would rather have 5 meaningful interactions with someone then have 1 million views. Views cant give me inspirations, they don't tell me anything about you. how you build, what you build, where you build, they don't give feed back.
There is a quote I love by Aristotle the greek philosopher
“ The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.”
This is the mind set that I have tried to bring to all my creations. I love terrain forming, Its about the smaller details and less about the larger geographical structures.
Of course this way of thinking is very much in the minority. Most terraforming map available on a weekly bases are gargantuan prioritizing the outward appearance over rich atmospheric environments.
This is okay but It isn't what I try to create.
Immersing your self in my world you will find:

Walking the grounds of the African savanna as it merges into what resembles the Namibia’s Fish River Canyon. A singular grand river slowly chipping layers of ancient rocks exposing the many wonderful array of rock pigmentation. The slow river flowing from east to west splitting the canyon in two, behind you the dry grass lands waiting for those first few drop of rain an indication the start of the wet season.
In the horizon you see a Baobab tree, Marula tree, and a long forgotten dead tree a reminder that life is harsh and unforgiving sometimes. Keep walking to the river side you will notice the vegetation is more lively its existence aiding smaller creatures.
Take the river from its inception you will see how the canyon grows how the lush vegetation accompanies you throughout your journey; the river bends and splits the layers of ancient rock, occasionally the remnant of dried up branch of river kisses the current river side.
Walk theses ravins get lost in the towering walls of rock, if your lucky you will discover the perfect place to sit and watch last rays of sunshine before darkness over takes.

If you take the time to discover the land It will tell a story. If you walk it it will show you some amazing scenes.
It might Help motivate you, inspire you with your building. by focusing on the small details I hope that you will find that absolutely perfect place to build on.
The singular scene that will transcend your building to a higher level of atmosphere.
The snow peaked mountains far in the distance a river flowing lazily down toward the lush valley a single tree twisted and battered with age but nevertheless standing proud the hanging fruit a mere meters from the river edge a bird flying in the distance unaware of the predator gauging the right angle of attack. A scene with meaning, a perfect place for a cottage or mill.
This I what I offer. This is what my new project will focus on.
Not a map but a small 3 dimensional scene that will invite you to build in very different atmospheres. I will be creating a new blog where I will expand on this idea and post my projects. I have chosen to post the project in blogs format because I would like people to look at them in a different light. To read about the scene, understand the scene, discuss the scene, and finally share there own addition to the scene.
My first scene will be caribbean islands.
