    Lovely maps, Tovokas. I like the first one the best -love your hills. With the second one, I like all your little symbols but there's something weird going on with the shadowing on them. I also suspect that it could look better if the roads were sharp and in focus. As they are blurred, for me at least, they kind of separate the foreground from the background and make the symbols stand out too much. Makes it look like two different styles. Did you try doing it with unblurred roads?

    Still, great maps and I'm flattered by the influence Vaniya had on you.
    Royal: I'm very sorry for your loss, your mother was a terribly attractive woman.

    Teach me to post my first map to the finished map section!

    Actually, I think I did the road that way because they took about 2 minutes to do, and I didn't have to worry about any 'text glow' issues from the names. Here's a quick version with harder roads and less shadow on the symbols.

    And thanks all for the kind words.
