Instead of working on my challenge map, as I was supposed to be doing, I ended up playing around with something else. I think this was the map I really wanted to be working on!

I can stop looking at antique maps, because they're so full of charm and colour, and that's sorta the influence behind this one. (I don't have the art skills of Ye Olde Timey mapmakers, but then they didn't have Gimp and an undo button!)

I haven't got too far into it yet, but this is my background and basic land shapes. I've only just started on the rivers, so there's still a bunch of those to be added. I might play about with rhumb lines, but I have no real clue what I'm doing there, so we'll see how that works out.
