Did I make a real map yet? D:

@Lingon - 1) Actually I was thinking the *tribal* borders would pretty closely follow nature's borders. Makes more sense that way to me.... I don't know why. Maybe I should rethink that...


2) yeah no way I can buy that font Maybe if I save up for a few years!


@Arsheesh - Thanks!!! I'm having lots of fun with this one ^.^

Ahhh yeah, it has to be the parchment, then...

I fixed the blending-in-the-text problem with an overlay of the original parchment (since I'd already merged and couldn't do the more appropriate ways)

Original "parchment":



Do you think those are the brush strokes you're seeing?

Any idea how to fix it? :/

It's these strokes in here that are bothering me:



You might ignore them, I could just have gotten up in my head about them. But they're small enough that they look like strokes/artifacts of some sort--you could blend them together in gimp into one bigger blotch and it might be less distracting. Something like this (I just cloned in one between them, and blurred together):

ahhhh yeah, its the parchment. Unfortunately mymap is merged ontoo the bottom parchment, but i bet I can find a way to blend it a bit thanks!
