Official L5R Rokugan Boardgame Map

[FrancescaBaerald]

Hi!

It has been very exciting for me to have the chance to work on the map of Rokugan for L5R by Fantasy Flight Games.
I've always had a passion for Asian style illustrations so I was thrilled when they asked me to paint this map

This is the original version, a bit different from the one you can find in the board game where they decided to add some features and icons.
I thought it would have been interesting to share with you both versions.

Hope you like it!

Great map Francesca! This map, really gets me interested in the game, so that's a job wel done! Though I don't expect any different from you, really (:

Agree with Daniel, everything what he said.

Awesome map Francesca! Asian style maps are one of my favorites too. I just wish I had skill as good as yours to bring them out the way I would like.

The map is beautiful and all the illustrations give it an eery vibe, as if the land you show was caught in a mist of legends (and that's a big win) but there is a tiny technical detail that is also a great feature of the map. The water texture you added (which certainly took you a fair amount of time) is pretty wonderful !

Beautiful work, as ever, Francesca.

Wonderful work of art! It really screams "legendary asian lands" for me . And I second Thomas, the sea must have been long to do, but it's most excellent.

It's a very interesting tecnique with a lot of instinctive brushes involved. This is the main reason I love it so much!

Thank you! The water texture was a challenge..mostly for my eyes and wrist But I think it was a necessary effort to gain the result I was striving to achieve.

Beautiful work, as ever, Francesca.

Thank you Straf!

Thank you very much Ilanthar! So many waves....

As I said over on DA, Francesca, this is another stunner! Love seeing the Asian illustrations in your beautiful watercolour style. Also, that view of it as an actual board is awesome!
