The Desert Oasis, Revised!
Added 2018-01-31 06:56:08 +0000 UTCI've learnt enough since I started the Desert Oasis map that I wanted to try a paint-over today, and what do you know, I am very pleased with the result! Though still much more abstract than my established style, this one has much more detail, plus I much prefer its colors and forms. I think it's a far superior battle map to version one.
I haven't said so anywhere yet, but I'm actually going to Japan again for next month! Besides all the sightseeing, I'm going to work "on the road," and I'd like to use it as an opportunity to practise this painterly style further. It will save me carrying pencils and paper, untie me from a 7-Eleven (200 DPI) scanner, and allow me to draw from wherever I put my bags down.
The other option is for me to bust out some line art before I leave, which is also perfectly doable. Hmm, what do you think? Regardless, thank you all for being so supportive!

Definitely better than the 1st version, but I still prefer your art with lines. In time, your new lineless style will grow on me.
