    Thanks to both of you!

    Finally, some paint now. Decided to try layering some colors in the sea with a sponge, and omg why haven't I used a sponge before? That was so much easier than trying to do it with a brush.

    For some reason my phone isn't picking up the color very well, but I can't scan it while it's wet, so this will have to do.

    Thanks Jason & Narc!

    Today was a day for pencil, because I wanted to get this properly scanned after the paint dried from yesterday. The colors still don't look quite right (now they're much brighter than they are in real life) but I can fix that in the final.

    My goal here is to work in as many of these pictures as possible. So far I have tower (though I took some liberties), island, bridge, river, volcano. Not sure how many more I'll be able to do; I'm trying to figure out a way to make the easternmost tower a lighthouse, but I'm running out of ideas on the rest.

    Edit: Not sure why this came in the wrong way in the thumbnail, but it's properly landscape in the actual pic.

    This is looking fantastic, Gidde! I am such a sucker for Celtic artwork so I'm loving your border, and it's an even greater achievement for being hand-drawn. Looking forward to seeing the map develop.

    I was at Walmart today and thought of you...

    And those mountains look great. I love the detail.

    Cool! I hope you love it as much as I did. Those sponges have sat unused in a drawer of my drawing table for *years* lol.
