Information
Voyage of Light is an unofficial, art-focused fanzine centered around showcasing the various landscapes of Sky: Children of the Light. We are currently working on Volume II, in which we hope to showcase more of the seasonal and social areas within the game.Volume I is available to the public, and can be found here.What does this mean?
We hope to feature 6 illustrations for each of the main realms. 3 of these will be landscape while the other 3 is the artist choice between either a character or landscape illustration. Of the 3 landscape pieces, at least 1 of them will be focusing on a seasonal or social area.
Home hub will also be included this time, having 1 landscape piece and 1 character piece.
Eden and Orbit will be also combined, featuring 2 landscape pieces and 2 character pieces. The Season of Shattering will be included with this realm.What is the difference between landscape and character art?
Landscape art aims to focus on the scenery of Sky with little to no showings of spirits or Sky kids.
Character art meanwhile focuses on the Sky kids and/or spirits, and their interactions.
