Adventures in Sketchtopia Part 39: Worldbuilding 1

More than static pictures.

Here is the first of two posts in which my drawings delved into worldbuilding concepts. Exploring weapons, items, clothing, and even buildings for different fantasy creatures or cultures.

Night Dwellers: These diminutive creatures are almost Golem-like (from Lord of the Rings) in nature. They have a variety of weapons that are somewhat primitive. Spears, knives, and hammers seem to be the major melee weapons. Slings or darts round out the ranged category. In the top drawing, they are depicted as only wearing loincloths, while in the lower drawing, full clothing. No armor is present, though shields are common. They are capable of building cozy structures, as shown in the battle scene. They face off against an unknown foe with archery capability.

Scattered Humans: In the first picture, there is a motley collection of armor. The bottom of the page shows various human heads in different wrappings. The next picture shows a simplified sketch of an unarmored man, with a fully armored man below that. The armor is shown separately, as well as several renditions of swords. The final picture has an armored man with a magical sword and heraldry-laden shield. A magical spear, axe, and crossbow are depicted separately.

Various Items: Artifacts ranging from totems, fabric, bags, knives, and matches all litter the page. From the looks of them, most are homemade and of low production quality.

Creative Tool: Idea Mutation

It's mutating out of control! Here is another wild method of improving the creativity of ideas through the process of introducing random 'mutations'. I call it Idea Mutation. Method: Start with an idea. Add it to a circle on the far left side of a piece of paper. That is round 1. Make two branches off the first idea. Each branch has a new circle. That is round 2. For each branch, roll a 10-sided dice and select the 'mutation' from the table below. For each branch, create a 'mutated' idea incorporating that branch's mutation. Continue branching and mutation ideas for subsequent rounds (3, 4, etc.). Modifications: Include different mutations (ex. Add Thrill, More Collaborative, Clearer, etc.) Add null mutation (no changes for certain branches) Change probability of mutations (same mutation for more than one number) Examples:

Creative Tool: Idea Bracket

Let the Best Idea Win. How to generate great ideas? Why not create an Idea Bracket ? It is analogous to a sports league play-off. Ideas are pitted against each other, with the winning idea moving on to the next round. The last idea standing is the winner. I do have a few additional rules. The Three M's : Modify, Merge, and Markup. These rules allow for both idea modification and saving sub-winner ideas. Simple enough, right? Let's try it out on some examples. Story Beginning Location Floating City and Haunted Graveyard merged into Floating Graveyard Screaming Wastelands modified into Blasted Wastelands Winner was Floating Graveyard and Sundered Titan merged into Floating Graveyard of Titans Artistic Inspiration Shack Brainstorming and Review Idea/Notes merged to Shack Review Ideas TCG View modified to TCG Mashup Shack Review Ideas marked for later Monster App and Walk and Song merged to Walk and Song with Monster App Priming Winner was T...
