nice stuff, but the outer edges are a little blurry and you should transfer some of the paper wrinkling to the edges of the actual map - otherwise it looks like a really smooth paper laying on top of wrinkeld parchment

Hmm... what about this?

outer edges still to blurry, but the wrinkling looks good

Added in a little more definition on the outer edges of the 'parchment' and some charred areas. I think I'm in danger of overworking this now, so this will probably be the final version.

better- but still feels a little blurry - sorry... maybe its my eyes *lol*

I'm no expert, but I'm guessing the 'blurriness' that some people are reporting is artifacting from JPG compression. You might try saving & posting it as a PNG file.

It's actually a result of feathering the edges of the parchment under-layer (the brown-tannish outer border section) to try to give it a feel of the edges disintegrating over time. I guess it's a failed experiment. If I have time before the deadline, I'll try to go back and redo it, but things may just have to stand like this...

yep - Diamond is right - its only the edges of the document I'm bugging him about - sharp edges, thats what the people want *lol*

I'll make sure Sharp Edges For Everyone is one of my platform promises when I run for office.
