Here's my entry.
A scanned DIN A4 (150 dpi), black pens and pencils on coffee/tea-stained paper. (And I feel my neck, too ;) )
As usual, the labels are my weak spot with hand drawn maps - I hope they are legible.
Regrettably the scan brightened the map somewhat, it's darker in its original state.
I've cut off the white borders from the scan process - is this within the limits of this month's rules?

I can't see the map yet so commenting on that will have to wait till later; but in my humble opinion, cropping != processing. So I think your crop is ok.

Very nice map. I like the Sword Compass.
Hehe, check out the blowfish!
Looks good! I don't think it's much too light, either.
Thank you, guys.
I had initially thought on doing a map with some water colors, but in the end I decided for this one.
I want to do watercolors myself but I just can't seem to force myself to draw on that paper...it's like a piece of rough floor tile or something. Regular paper just starts warping :(
I know. I also used standard paper as I had nothing else at hand. It started to warp, too, when I stained it with coffee and tea. Thicker paper would probably work better.Quote:

Thanks!
The map was a sudden idea and I started it without thinking long about the paper; so a rather more rushed attempt than carefully planned. Not the smartest way, I have to confess.
