307 A Welcome Resting Place (and I got my new glasses)

Denizens of the tower!

I'm back to full-blown fantasy art creation. I got my glasses earlier this week. After a period of adaptation I am now feeling better and I see WAY better with the glasses. It wasn't until I started doing my everyday stuff with the glasses that I noticed how bad my sight was. I mean I'm not really that bad, really. But I was bad enough that I could still barely function without glasses. An interesting development is that I bought a 4k monitor for my cartography stuff last month and while the colors are an improvement. I did not look that much better than the older 1080p monitor. Well it turns out the monitor rocks and everything does look impressive in it, but I needed glasses to see it.

While I couldn't illustrate, I wrote some stuff. A while ago I read about an RPG game I've been wanting to get for a while but it seems to be out of print. The game is called Ryuutama. The gameplay, as far as I can suspect, is supposed to feel like a slice-of-life, light-hearted story where nothing of real seriousness happens. I wrote this story with that mood in mind and the result is a farm house setting that is an awesome place to have the party rest, take a step back, and relax from the adventurer's life doing some odd jobs and participating in a baking competition....

Or...

You can just have the place raided by orcs. Either way the illustration will serve its purpose. Also, as an aside, this map is a kind of remake of my 102nd illustration, named Farmer's Mystery. I may redo some earlier illustrations later on too. It is included in the usual formats.

Hope you enjoy it, and thank you for supporting my writing and illustration projects.
