Thought I'd throw my cannon fodder entry into the ring.
Here is the first bit. Just putting down a little of each element. The grungy hand drawn look seems to be really popular at the moment.

Some good lookin hills and mtns there, man. Dig it.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

yeah nice start there. We have a serious comp going on here. Heavy hitters.
Very good looking start!
Thanks guys...it'll probably never get finished though. The rest of this month is going to be a bit nightmarish r/l wise.
That's looking lovely already, Ravs. Come on, you know you can find the time to do it somewhere.

I've gone back to an earlier save and downsampled some of the bitmaps and redone all the town labels and forests and some other stuff. Holding the faith with Drawplus but saving a lot more (with incremental saves in case it tries to pull this again).
I'm really beginning to like this map, there's a 'rightness' to it (to me anyway) which I think I've got by pure luck.
