Motley Mapping Fragments by Abu Lafia

The Corrupted Land Of Khajis
Once again, i foolishly tried to make the watercolours do what i want them to do and had to accept some "happy little accidents" along the way.
After the colours being on, i proceeded to mess up the title and screamed a therapeutic "ctrl+Z" from the top of my lungs ... with little effect.
Despite all that, in the end i am quite happy with the result.
Still not sure though what to do about the placenames. Thought about adding them digitally but it might not look that good. Or just going with simple lines to connect the little city/town - circles with the lables being placed around the island in open waters.

I think this looks great! Sometimes the happy accidents of traditional methods are what make them have so much character.
