August entry: Touch of orient

[Rovingjack]

Lets see if I can remember how to do this.

This is a roughed out sketch of what I will be attempting to do over the next few days to get it ready for the deadline.

The cloudy corner is an idea I had for the border. The rest of the map I hope to be able to lay out in the birds eye view.

I think I'm going to back out a bit and see if I can get some of the blending into the landscape at the edges rather then setting a hard wall as the town perimitter if that works better.

I'm also thinking that if done right the verticle banner style of labels of structures would fit better, but as I understand it the map labeling is up to the sponsor this month.

I also hope to try this with a bit of water color this time, or at the very least ink. For a more finished look.
