Yberiko

Here's the landscape I was working on during the last two streams! And yes, it's another location from The Aether and Radisrol.

This place is called Yberiko, in southeastern Altana in the world of Radisrol. This region is renowned for its terroir and cool, temperate climate, making it an ideal place to grow vineyards and raise animals. But as the region is enclosed by the Cragtooth Mountain Range, it's very difficult for locals and outsiders alike to travel to and from this area.

Overlooking the village and its environs is the snow-capped Mt. Nieves, where one of the Exalted, Aelv, was said to have rested after shaping these lands. Locals often visit the caverns of the mountain to cure their famous Jamon Yberiko, made from the Yber Black Pig and considered a local delicacy.

I had initially no clue what this was going to be. I only really decided this would be some concept art for Yberiko while painting the values in grayscale. After that, I decided that I wanted to create a landscape that had more depth compared to the last couple of landscapes that I was working on. I also wanted to focus more on plants in this piece... And I had to collect a lot of vineyard photos on Pinterest for reference. 🍇
