Description
To get the best effect from the woodcut effect on the man, view this full size.
Bongolesia is a fictional country invented/created by Origins Award Winning game designer, Michael Murphy. It was created for use in historical miniatures games set in the modern era (it's typically played with either Micro Armor or AK-47 rules). He's created an elaborate history that includes a flag, map, currency, and political issues with neighboring countries (which include real-world countries and other fictional countries). Because of his numerous game con appearances and blog, this "country" actually has a decent following and is used by gamers throughout the world.
Using his flag design, and a photo of their "leader" (actually a photo of Edi Amin, controversial leader of Uganda), I created this design for him to put on a T-shirt so he can wear it at gaming conventions while he runs the game. I'm having it printed at CafePress and am sending it to him as a Christmas gift. (It will also probably be used to illustrate the source book when it comes out.)
The map itself was rendered in Strata 3D: Everything else was created in Photoshop.

Bravo!!Fantastic idea and creation!!!!!!!!!!
excellent in full view,with the continent and the names behind,and yes before reading i thought of old Idi heheheheh. ps thank for the very constructive critic on my upload i will pick up the suggestions and do a redux,might take a while though as i am completely involved in the sonstruction of spackopolis.i set you as fav that way we stay in contact. in fact come to think of you gave me a fine and different approach,i saw through the soldiers eyes and as he wants to hide he wants to stay in the dark. but for the audience the more agressive lights on the characters could come out great.i pick it up brothe-in-art.
Thanks for adding me to your faves! I really appreciate it. I've been poking around your gallery and it's really got some cool stuff there. And I'm glad you liked my suggestions!
