World Building - Working in Holidays

 Hey Guys!
Wednesday the 20th of April

Had a few days to relax and refresh myself and now back to work. As I've been a bit over whelmed with this project I planned out my boards so I know to to draw.

Will get back to actual drawing tomorrow more than likely.

Nature:

Architecture:

Culture:

Don't really like how unnatural (can't think of the word but its not nature, very artifact) layout this is, but I really don't know how to not make it that way without looking weird...

Squid and Carp Farming:

These would be used for carp and squid farming.

Shrimp Farming:

Google search, looks like shallow areas where shrimp are farmed.

Plaice Farming:

Image from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plaice

Plaice Fish, to my knowledge are like flounders and when I was a kid, my father and the neighbors at Omaui used to fish for them. How they did it was there was a sand bay that come up to the beach, making a shallow like saltwater pond, and they just walk in the water with a net (water was up to their waist/mid torso) and collect the fish from the floor. With this I will do the same with the Plaice fish for farming.
