Japan: Improved

After much time and reassessing the design, I decided to fix the Japan Tile.

Firstly, I want to focus on a single cherry blossom, but not a stylized version, so I used the silhouette of a real flower. I then looked for some simple architecture. Remembering Itsukushima's famous tori (gate) I looked through my picture and online versions. I found a graphic I liked, but I had to add a little that was missing. I am happy with the end result:

Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia

I remember a friend telling me about a beautiful lake with stunning reflections. (An interested conversation because they were Chinese and there is a similar place in China called Qinghai.) I found a good image of the lake, dried and showing the salt flats. With a lot of time and a limited color palette, the final tile is complete. Enjoy.

Lesotho, in depth

I have been working on a few new tiles and I wanted to go through a little of the process of of putting one of these together. Let's look at my tile for Lesotho. Lesotho is famous for its ponies and majestic Drakensberg Moutains.  I sourced a few pictures: - a horse and rider (to be adjusted with a Basotho hat) - misty mountains  - and the Three Rondavels (famous mountains in the Drakensbergs) The misty mountains have the color scheme and some the mountains. The silhouette of the Three Rondavels become the rest of the background and some of the foreground. The horse and rider silhouette with a proper hat finishes the tile.
