Just stumbled across this. Very awesome. Quick question for ya, how did you pull off that water effect? I have been looking for an effect of that type for some time for my realistic maps.

Sorry for the slow response - I had to have my gall bladder yanked and have been incommunicado of late.
The water effect? Its pretty simple. I did a few random splotches of blue in photoshop and then applied a ripple effect followed by a frosted glass effect followed by another ripple effect. Each time I did ripples, I changed the settings a little.
Its basically pure experimentation.

Unless I explicitly state otherwise you have my permission to use my maps in any capacity needed just give me credit. If you make money off them somehow, that's awesome - let me know! In fact, I LOVE to hear about the ways maps I make are used.
Hope you're healing well.

Oo, ouch, that bites. What sort of diet? I like to know in case it ever happens to me

Well the Gall Bladder is what is in charge of breaking down the fatty content in whatever you eat, so I am having to reduce alot things like bacon, fast-food, etc. Also I have noticed that the spicier the food the longer it is taking to digest, therefore heartburn has been an issue.

Which means you'll probably also have to watch out for acid reflux as well...

When I get reflux I just grab the bicarbonate of soda from my wife's baking cupboard and mix a teaspoon of it with an inch of water in a glass. Gets rid of it instantly.
As a an aside to my asthma/allergies, for several years I had a really bad bout with acid reflux. None of the normal/home remedy's came even close to helping. I was on medication for several years to get it under control.

You have my sympathies. Reflux really hurts. It gets even worse when you're lying down so it makes it impossible to sleep properly too.
