Dec 24/Jan/Feb 25 Lite Challenge: Quranji Exclave

[The Elderly Cartographer]

I am attempting to join both challenges.

I was inspired to create a sci-fi coastal community. A small group of refugees living on the edge of a foreign nations coast.

Welcome to the challenge! Great concept.

[The Elderly Cartographer]

Thanks, Bogie!

I've decided to go digital with this one. I like making digital maps but I normally have too much work on the computer without adding to it. Also I am spending my mapping time on my entry for the Main Challenge, and have not been able to work on this challenge.

Did I mention that I have a third map/illustration for Resurrection Day, that I have been working on since last year?

Layer upon layer! I reworked the beach and coastal waters, added some ripples and foam. I filled in the buildings then shaded the cliffs.

That looks really good - ingenious way to show the waves breaking!

[The Elderly Cartographer]

Thanks! I used layer upon layer and brush upon brush. I was quite surprised at how it turned out.

[The Elderly Cartographer]

Added a few more dynamic colors to the cliff and sketched out the interiors and stuff.

I originally intended to draw the buildings with roofs on them and a only two interior scenes in the inset boxes but I decided otherwise.

Great progress! I agree with Diamond that the water is really well done.

[Bogie]

Yep, the waves are great and the rest of the map is coming along nice.
