Don't get me wrong, I love the watercolor look. It's so charming.

Thank you very much. one of these days I'm going to try on a kind of paper that will let me use actual water colors but I don't think that I am quite there yet.

Like a thick paper? You can get it for cheap at a dollar store, just a tip for experimenting. You don't have to skip right to the $16 for a sheet of paper specialty stuff.

Thanks, I wasn't sure that dollar store paper would do. Are you talking about the dollar store art books because I think that I have one of those. The problem is that I'm not sure if I can draw a map well without a grid. Keeping structures straight seems like it would be an awful lot more work.

and because I've finished the latest one I'll include it here.

Drafting triangles and light pencil lines can help a lot with that problem.
Erase the pencil lines afterwards and no one will ever know.

I dunno, the paper's not great but it works for experimenting on.

As for grids, if you color digitally it's very easy to remove light blue if you drew in black. So no harm in using a grid paper. I use programs and hotkeys to shortcut digitally having a ruler but I don't know how to do some results traditionally without rulers. So yeah, a lot more work. But it can still be eyeballed. Also both maps are delightful, you have lucky players.

Thank you both of you for the helpful suggestions.

I'm working with some new brushes. Feedback appreciated!

It has a nice texture energy to it without overwhelming your art, I think it's a good choice.
