    Nice handdrawn map Delgo

    I like the idea of that compass rose, it got a nice minimalistic style.

    Thank you Sage. I'm a big fan of simple, I don't think you get that much more simple when it comes to a compass rose, lol.

    Redrew and scanned in the Temples at Ket symbol... this one I like much better, and looks straighter than the other one.

    Added all the islands text....

    Let's see. I went ahead and redrew all the town symbols and scanned them in, resized them and placed them on the map.
    I placed the rippled coastlines down around all the mainland and islands. I chose a different text style for the islands, to show they are islands instead of placing the word island repetitively or eve isl. or I. Probably not proper procedure on a map, but it saves on space....

    I also redid the compass rose to include both the direction indicator and the scale bar in one single object. I liked how that turned out if nothing else.
    I still have some more text to place... as well as a swamp, some more forest and jungle, and I might extend the Tarn hills further SE toward the Min River.

    UPS doesn't deliver on saturdays ... so Monday is the earliest I'll be able to see my tablet... I think they are doing it on purpose, some personal vendetta against me having fun .... b@#$%&ds ....

    @Sage, Thank you I try anyways...

    Ok, I was playing around with some colors... here was some of what I'd done... I just pulled the one corner that I was working on since I hadn't done the whole map. I'll be cleaning up the edges and what not, this was just to get an idea of what it will look like... What do ya'll think?

    I like it Delgo, though the black and white one is equally nice. For me the color's really make the map "pop". Would definitely like to see the whole map in color.
