    The third one was inspired by reading into Monte Cook's world of Numenera. A strange device from another age.

    EDIT: found another one... number 5 of Mapvember (well, maybe next year i get at least 10 pieces done ) It was thought as a kind of response to Meshons fantastic illustration of "Salazar's Ghost"

    Hope you enjoy!

    Oh my, I'm months behind, how did I miss these? Wonderful work. I'm really excited to see some Numenera inspired maps, the Ninth World is full of cartographic possibilities

    Post Debris of an Empire

    Thought i'd park my further watercolour experiments in this thread here.
    That one is not exactly a map, but i hope you enjoy it anyway...

    @Meshon I originally thought about a remote moon in a long forgotten system, though i like the idea that this landscape could actually be somewhere in the Ninth World aswell...

    This is wonderful! And wet media no less. Your watercolour work is going really well, congratulations. I'm very glad to hear that the Ninth World is in your thoughts. It is also the sort of place where Archie and Salazar might get stuck...

    Beautiful, thank you for sharing it.

    Best,
    Meshon

    Nice ! Makes me indeed think of some dark sci-fi postcard somehow.

    @Meshon, MistyBeee, Thomas & Ilanthar: Sorry you guys! It took me only half a year to find this dusty ol' thread to thank you properly... i'm really glad you like it!

    So here is a piece i started drawing some weeks ago, just to ease that terrible itch in my somewhat rusted fingers after drawing pretty much nothing for way too long:

    Uebermorgenland_by_Abu_Lafia_WIPI.jpg

    I decided to go for digital colouring, because i felt i already messed up too much of the linework and feared to ruin it with watercolours entirely XD

    I began to block in some base colours after scanning and was quite pleased with the palette. Next will be shades and highlights...

    Let me know what you think, any suggestions, comments and critique is welcome (as always)!

    Cheers,
    AL
