WorldEmber 2020 Pledge Document - Event Has Ended

Tamyrh

These are the articles, concepts and topics I pledge to work on during WorldEmber!

As seen in

Book 1 of The Korpes File Series -Teaser

January 1st, 2021 has arrived.

I managed just over 5k words during December's challenge. While it was less than I wanted to do, I'm happy with what I got done in the time crunch that was my month. Congratulations to everyone who completed WE2020, and I hope to join the ranks next December! Also, a HUGE thank you to those who showed their support, both here and via other platforms.

The pledged items that I completed are now in bold and the incomplete ones are in italics.

First, an introduction...

I've been a lurker on WorldAnvil for a some time and watched as people have created magic here. Earlier this year, I challenged myself to put my WA membership to use and give my patrons access to the 'behind-the-scenes' world-building I've done for my sci-fi/cyberpunk novels. Now, in the spirit of WorldEmber, I'm taking myself out of my comfort zone and challenging myself to make my world, Tamyrh, available for non-patrons as well.
May those that find themselves here enjoy the journey.

Here are the items I'll work on in December...

Completely In Process: HOW TO COMPLETE WEEK 3 OF THE WORLDEMBER HOMEWORK CHALLENGE
Create a list of maps and images which might be useful for your world. If you’ve completed the first WorldEmber homework challenge, you can go through your Pledge and see which images and maps you’ll need for the articles listed there.
Find and upload the images to your World Anvil world, either as pictures or as maps! Remember to credit the artists!
Add the images to your pledge document, so you’ll be more inspired when you look at it. You can either do this in a section at the bottom, as a gallery or next to the individual articles!
Once you’re done, simply write a comment at the bottom of this blog post, and re-copy the URL of your WorldEmber 2020 Pledge Document into the comment!

Week 3: This is definitely a work in progress - most of my images are still stuck between Muse and physical translation. Character sketches, and images appropriate to the atlas will be a thing.

About My Images, Music, & Fonts

All of the art (banners, images, etc.) that I've created for use on this site are a combination of my own drawings, sketches/illustrations, and photographs, as well as public domain images from CANVA Pro. I have also used World Anvil's WorldEmber logo and headers for each week's homework/challenge.
Mythspinner Studios is my art identity/business name - Some of my work will be credited as such (especially when I get going on game design). You can find me on NaNoWriMo as Mythspinner Studios.
All music used is either my own composition or Royalty Free via my membership on Epidemic Sound. Regardless, I'll always give a shout-out to the composer in the video credits.
All my videos and editing software/effects packs have been appropriately licensed. I use Movavi and XSplit.
All fonts associated with 'my Brand' (PAG KAROGS, Fledgling, Din 1451 fette Briets, among them) are licensed for commercial use.
