I need opinions!

I first have to say scanning some thing far bigger than the scanner can scan in one shot so you have to scan sections then piece them together (as a newbie) is a pain in the %^&. It didnt scan that well either. This post is for opinions on two things. 1 Does the pencil by the water on the east side of the map look better or does the pen on the north side look better? 2 Does the water on the east side (that is used with a smudge stick) look better or does the water on the north side (without the smudging) look better. First image is the hand drawn map the second image was made through the "not so random coastlines" tutorial used as a reference to help me make my coast lines look nicer. Again sorry for the poor scan and thanks for every ones time.

I said Pen (same reasons as above), but I really thought the eastern seas with the smudge looked very superior - to me the colors flowed better and were less colored-pencilly-looking.

I use Hugin for stitching. It works fine for scanned images......Here is the tutorial.

Awesome link, RobA. I'd never heard of Hugin previously... looks very cool!
