I like this look so far. I was playing with brush strokes to kinda tone down the detail from the FT png. I discovered that Accented Edges gives you an outline to your coastline and takes a lot of detail away to give that hand drawn feeling.
I was playing with the coastal lines that are found in many parchment maps and discovered through trial and error that a thick outline around the coast, then the brush stroke spatter with a motion blur gives a great effect and is rather simple to do. It might not be perfect but not bad for a huge map.
Next step: mountains, I finally get to break out my new stylus!

Added mountains, rivers and a coastline. I think as far as symbols go, I'm done. I used my stylus for the first time and it was certainly harder than I thought but I soon got the hang of it.
As you know, I'm a huge fan of your maps, Bohunk - I love the way that this one is going! Forget the house - do the map!
I'm a fan as well and this one also looks good. Nice job so far.
