Ukiyo-e Map Objects - take two!

[Gamerprinter]

I took art in high school and a few classes (not even a minor, though) in college. Then I've been a graphic artist, then designer, pretty much self-taught and years of experience. Truth tell, until about 2 years ago, when I started mapping heavily, I only dabbled in hand-drawn work over the years, but never lost the talent for it.

EDIT: I've always been able to draw. I took art in school to practice my techniques not so much to learn new ones, I was too stubborn and always did things my own way.

I wasn't inferring anything nefarious, I just wanted to get me some looks at the inspirations so I could get some as well. I took art classes the same way...and for the easy A to pad my GPA

Sorry, forgot to post the references!

First mountain (and I will do a couple more from the same landscape scene) is by Hiroshige, Mountains and Rivers of Kiso, ca 1857

Mountain with a Cascading River is by Hokusai, Yoshino Waterfall: Yo****sune washing his horse (I didn't put the horse or guys in my version), from the Series - A Journey to the Waterfalls of all the Provinces, ca. 1830 - 1831.

Note: I made major changes in the second one, and merely cropped the mountain down for the first one.

Edit: just realized a "4 letter word" beginning with an "sh" is in the middle of that Japanese man's name - LOL.

Laugh. Love the censor on that one. Superb images, GP. I'm looking forward to more, even if I'll probably never use them myself.

Very nice. You a righty or a lefty (yea I know I'm getting off topic)?

I do both, though I'm not ambidexterous. I was taught to write with my right hand, but I do many things left handed by preference - eating, etc. I can force myself to write with my left hand, but very sloppily. I'm sure that I am actually left handed, had nature taken its course instead "nurture"...

Just finished creating mountain #4, I also used the Mountains and Rivers of Kiso, by Hiroshige, for reference, as in the first mountain.

This one is Mountain with a Waterfall and Bridge...

PS: I also tweaked Mountains 2 and 3, also attached...
