I like that new version much better, Sap. You can still see the detail in the drawings, but making them smaller like that cleans them up and yeah, doesn't draw too much attention away from the map itself. And that harbor castle drawing is stunning, but it needs banners and flags from the roofs!!!

That's the road I'm on, and you're right. It's a killer.

Plus, I'm gonna get my ass kicked in this contest by, well, just about everyone, so it's probably all for naught.
