Embuira and Telesus

[Corilliant]

Hello everyone! Happy new year.

I've been getting back into watercolour painting lately and thought I'd have a crack at a watercolour map. So here's 'Embuira and Telesus'.
The little story I've made up for this one is that resource-poor but powerful Embuira, and vast, resource-rich Telesus, were in conflict for decades. (Neither nation is shown in full.) This map commemorates the completion of the cross-strait Highway of Harmony, twenty-five years after the signing of peace treaties and trade deals.

Unhappy with my scanner as always, but it'll do...

EDIT: See better photo below!

Vivid colors that catch the eye ! And bravo for your painting skills !

The colors are indeed absolutely fantastic but so is the map. The flow of the land is terrific too !

Very nice, I love the colour and overall style of the map. The scan quality is a bit unfortunate though, are you using a flatbed scanner or taking an image with a camera?

Super work! The watercolours work really well, especially in the seas.

[Ilanthar]

The watercolours are indeed striking. And like Tomas, I really like the general display of the lands and towns.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone!
Hopefully this picture is a bit better.

The colors are so true, it makes me think of a real atlas! I just love how you depicted the elevation, it's masterful.
