    Your welcome. The Displace filter is a great tool. really nice with a high noise layer to make lines not appear to be perfect which gives them a bit more hand drawn look. One good example of it's use is for making "tiles" is to create a grid and then a high noise and displace the grid against the noise layer. It makes the normally straight grid lines kind of jaggy (but you have to be careful to make sure all the bits are still connected to the main line, so don't move the displace very much at all.)

    Very cool. The curve on the page now looks great, and the lines aren't unnaturally straight-looking. The font is Fantastic.

    I've already repped you once for the map, so I can't rep you again just yet, but nice job, just the same.

    Well I can, so have some rep. That is an excellent job you've done there. I myself can't see anything else you need to improve.

    The only thing I can think of is maybe put some clipart stuff in the open spaces around the borders of the pages...big maybe, I dunno. I love the lil fiddlers and the pages are now probably the strongest part of the whole thing after starting out the weakest (IMO). Good job.

    ooo wait, I do see one thing. The crabs up top look a bit funny, you might want to swap them and rotate to fit so they look right-side up.

    @--> Ascension

    Do u mean to put something on more on the table, or on the open space between the map and the pages?

    @--> Nomadic

    I dont really see what your talking about. Do u mean that they look like they are lying on their backs to u? if so I dont see it

    They look like they are upside down. Rotating them won't help since they will look like they are on their side. So you will have to swap them to opposite sides and then rotate them right side up.
