    It's truly a nice piece Kelleri! There's so much to like about it: the subtle border art, the grungy linework, limited use of colors, for one are things that really stand out to me. While you may still not be entirely happy with this version of the map, it shows a lot of character.

    Great work! ;D

    EDIT: Oh, and I agree with the others, it's really nice seeing the progress of this map, with each version getting better (:

    The border is really neat as well, and the way you've done the compass rose is epic!
    I really want to do a map like this now.
    Thank you for the nice words! And go for it, I'd love to see it!

    Do you just mean that the crabs are their main food source, or do you mean that they literally live on the crabs, as awesome crab-riding nomads?

    Wow! So many comments to read though. The servers logged me out by the time I got to the end.

    And they are all so very well deserved!

    I must say that all the glorious details seem to already have been covered. I really liked the parchment texture and the scuff damage to the map. The colour scheme is great, and I MUCH prefer this lighter style. (My poor old eyes can't see so well on your darker maps!)

    Congratulations, but... you know that telling everyone its actually and finally finished is usually the curse of doom, don't you?

    Thanks! Yeah, I was just thinking that this has to be the brightest map I've even done!

    *chuckle* You could be right, calling it done it probably will be my downfall, I may or may not have second thoughts about that lingering on the back of my mind already!

    YES. I'll swing by and come and get it, yeah?

    What with the flights booking and all, it'll probably be like a week or so, just stand by. Be right there.

    LOL! I read that as 'fights' the first couple of times I scanned it, and got a bit worried

    I'll save you some, and I can always get some more
