    Hi Viking,

    Not sure.. I'm trying for a map that looks like it was drawn with pen and ink and has been 'used at sea', so lots of staining and battered looking.

    I don't know if colouring will fit this?
    I guess there could be a bit of watercolour or something used if you had a particularly artistic ships navigator!

    Just for fun, why not try doing it all by hand if that's the look you're going for? There are a lot of tutorials on the web for doing antiquing and wear and tear effects via traditional means as well as digital. Plus, any iffy marks on the charts can be chalked up as rough seas or interruption by cannon fire

    That last update does look pretty nice with the ripples and mountains added.
