Sable Antelope Productions...

Nice name for a music company :P

If I ever gain musical talent and start putting out music I should avoid that Label, seeing as there already is Roan Antelope Music by an actually famous Zimbabwean.

New addition! I've decided I want to start making proper maps again so for starters I made on for a place I call Krugerland. It could use improvements but as a starter I quite like it.

Two updates in one day. Wow!

I made another map in the few hours after I made Krugerland. This one is called Fort Orange, it's got a little ship and Nyaminyami acting like a sea monster.

I'm in a map making mood it seems.

I don't have a good answer for that :unsure:

I think that the time difference between updates in this thread proves I'm kind of lazy with my hobbies :p

I love your drawings, your style is so cute! My family and I lived in South Africa for two years, so the little details like the original S.A flag are especially cool. Actually, your whole nation is very interesting because of that, but I digress.

Do you post your art anywhere else? Nationstates isn't exactly the site I go looking for cool art on.
My NS Stats are all canon, for better or worse

What's this? New artwork? Well sort of. Uploaded the image being used as my flag because, well, I made it and I'm proud of it.

If I may ask, what programs you use for drawing posters? I know little, as visual arts never were my strong side, unlike geography, and history. :p

Something Removed because it wasn't that good. Album art sort of thing added inspired by removed thing. Sounds of Zimbabwe.

Your art is awesome. I especially like the maps and digital designs. Are the maps all just done freehand?

It's kind of a drawing, kind of digital art.

Chia lo six Zimbabwe means It's a six, Zimbabwe. A six is when the batsmen hits the ball to the boundary line without it hitting the ground first. More of you need to learn cricket.
