Flora survey of Watership Down

[Gadiouka]

Hi everyone!

After a week of work, I consider this one done.

Based on Richard Adam's great novel Watership Down, this map is actually a mix between the original map and the botanical data I scooped up from the book. As I explained in the WIP thread, plants play a major role in the story, given that it can be food (dandelion, cowslip, sainfoin for example are highly praised) but also obstacle (When the characters cross the Newton Common, they complain about the queer short vegetation). I tried to incorporate those data the best I could, but it wasn't easy. I didn't put all the plants I found in the book either, to avoid overcrowding the margins. In the end it's not 100% accurate, but I wanted to focus on the overall mood of the english countryside, it's landscape and flora. I hope I managed that!

It's also my first map drawn with a tablet (yay!), I used Krita for the whole drawing part, and then added the texts with Inkscape.
