Mines, Quarries and Industries of the pastMoorland tin-streaming dates back to the 12th century and earlier, and the ruins of tin, copper, lead, zinc and silver mines abound. You'll discover mineral spoil heaps in river valleys and derelict blowing houses, wheel pits and tinners' huts at sites such as Wheal Betsy, Vitifer, Birch Tor and Golden Dagger. You'll also find the mounds of medieval warrens, where rabbits were bred to feed the miners. Look for evidence of other industries too - tramways for china clay pits and granite quarries, the buildings of a gunpowder factory at Powdermills, and the leats which supplied moorland water to Devonport and Plymouth .

I want to try to base my game/character around some of the famous features around dartmoor like the mines, and the prison, also some of the famous monuments and statues.


Before the mid 19th century, pixies and fairies were taken seriously in much of Cornwall and Devon. Books devoted to the homely beliefs of the peasantry are filled with incidents of pixie manifestations. Some locales are named for the pixies associated with them. In Devon, near Challacombe, a group of rocks are named for the pixies said to dwell there. At Trevose Head in Cornwall 600 pixies were said to have gathered dancing and laughing in a circle that had appeared upon the turf until one of their number, named Omfra, lost his laugh. After searching amongst the barrows of the ancient kings of Cornwall on St Breock Downs, he wades through the bottomless Dozmary Pool on Bodmin Moor until his laugh is restored by King Arthur in the form of a Chough.^[8] In some areas belief in pixies and fairies as real beings persists.

I thought this drawing was really well done and really clever. although this might not quite be a normal line drawing and probably goes into more detail than one should i think the artist has done an amazing job on this. The way it comes out at you and looks 3d is amazing even though the whole thing is 2d.

This is another image that is not really traditional line drawing, but you can see he's used a similar method in his shading because you can see his brush strokes. but this is a really good detailed image, I think that the black background and where it gets lighter towards the edges of the man gives a really nice effect and makes the image stand out a lot more.

Here is a more traditional style of line drawing with characters. This image is showing the same character where the artist is experimenting with different facial animations. Even though this image is very rough with lines all over the place it still looks really nice. This is a really good way to generate ideas and different things for your characters, whether it be hair, different noses etc.

here is a very traditional line drawing where the artist has actually used little lines to make up the image. This is the sort of drawing where. if you look at it from far away it looks really detailed, thats one of the reasons why i really liked this image. Also I think the composition and the lighting are really nice, it has a really nice dark background and where the light of the ground hits it, gives a nice effect.
