This is one of my 'mapdalas' - mandalas but with the 'petals' filled with map detail, like citybuilding :D :D

I have it for sale on various things over 'ere: https://www.redbubble.com/people/welshpixie/works/26257250-mapdala-1?asc=u

@WelshPixie oh i thought that was from as coloring book. you made that???? impressive!
@wxl I did! I've made four of them so far, I'm being nagged by people to make enough for a colouring book though :D
@WelshPixie um heck yes! i knhow a bunch of people i'd buy that for!!!
@wxl :D :D :D
@WelshPixie can you explain your process a bit more?
@wxl For the 'map'dalas specifically? I draw the outline of the pattern first, the larger petals of the mandala, and then treat each petal as an enclosed area and fill it with buildings and general map detail :) I have a less detailed colour one here, might be easier to see what's going on > http://welshpixie.deviantart.com/art/Mandala-City-Map-650699941
@WelshPixie OMG THAT ONE RULES! so you draw this in Krita with an input pad of some kind?
@wxl yeah :) I use a graphics tablet. It's hard and expensive to get wacoms here so I use a cheap one (but it does the trick), a Genius-make graphics tablet and pen. Here's the other two - http://welshpixie.deviantart.com/art/Mapdala-3-650899033 and http://welshpixie.deviantart.com/art/Mapdala-650644192
@WelshPixie fan-freaking tastic! do you use the whole KDE desktop? if so, on which OS?
@wxl I'm on Windows right now. Used to duel-boot but haven't re-installed Linux since having hard drive issues (because I'm lazy, hehe).
@WelshPixie stop being lazy, silly. :) that said, i'd love to share your work with some fellow KDE folks if you don't mind?
@wxl Absolutely, go for it! ^.^ When I'm running Linux I usually go Debian Mint or Kubuntu. I'll get it back on here eventually ^.^ @warpgate9 has been entirely Linux for a few years now, does all our game dev and stuff from there using the Linux build of Unity :D

@WelshPixie @warpgate9 Debian Mint? I assume you meant to put a comma in there XD

FYI: I'm on the @kubuntu team :)

cc @valoriez read the rest of this thread. she makes the coolest mandalas with krita!!!!!

@wxl @warpgate9 @[email protected] @valoriez Nah it was a Debian edition of Mint with rolling releases :)
@WelshPixie @warpgate9 @kubuntu @valoriez weird. that's almost crazy as an arch version of mind XD
