June 2022 Challenge: Bilbo's Game of Walks!
It's been a while since I've had time for a mapping challenge! I decided to map my neighborhood through the eyes (and nose, and ears, and mouth) of my dog Bilbo, who lives up to his namesake by going on adventures. Although I haven't played the Game of Life in decades, I thought it would be fun to map our walks as a board game in the style of that game.

Normally I'm really insistent on drawing every last thing myself (even though it's not always my strong suit!) but this time I took a dip into public domain clip art for the game board. As I recall, the old school Game of Life had some pretty cheesy graphics...

Hehe that's a pretty good idea. I think you are missing a line between "Cat food Pile. Yum yum!" and "Treat time!".
Such a great idea, and I love the captions!

Ooh, thank you for catching that! I also see a typo that I need to fix (snarkly).Originally Posted by Falconius
Thanks! I'm glad you and Falconius like the idea!
It had to be bunnies! Also, seriously, Bilbo remembers each and every location where he has ever, even just once, seen a bunny in our neighborhood. And he is OBSESSED with bunnies, in a neighborhood with a surprising number of "free range bunnies" (mostly giant lop-eared bunnies, so definitely pets and not wild critters). As we approach each bunny location, he stands up on his hind legs and actually walks forward on his hind legs so that he can get a better view of the yard and any bunnies that might be lounging in the yard.
Did some work on the spinner, plus a lot of little fixes. Still need to shade and do some other stuff.

Still haven't shaded. Made a bunch of cars and added public domain clipart. Pretty happy with how it's turning out.

Thanks! I remembered I drew some for a challenge involving rooftops looking down onto a city street.
