    very nice.. good colors - and I look forward to seing the whole map when you're ready ... although I do believe the guild limits on size are smaller than that.. 4600 or there about, but you can always post on Deviant Art if you got something bigger

    Hmmm... I had to decrease the quality of the full size Jpeg map, but it seems to have uploaded. It's possible I may run into issues when more details gets added. More progress, and the full size map showing what little bit I'm currently working on. Also, I need to track down RobA's tut on parchment texturing in GIMP. He deserves some newbie rep for it.

    I toned the colors back a bit in this version, and I think I like it more this way. Not quite so vibrant, but still very identifiable.

    Edit - I also realize that now is probably a good time to decide how I'm going to color the water. As it stands now, with the colors of the floatstone, coral, etc., it looks like all of this is coming out of a big desert, instead of a big ocean. Hmmm...

    More work done... and as I look at it, I can't help but feel like it looks overly cartoonish. I may have to use a different mapping style, but I rather wanted a style of map that would actually be used by people of the campaign world.
