    That's a really nice effect. That water is very pleasing on the eye. I look forward to seeing where this project goes.

    Here is a close up of a block print that you can see irregularities on, and this one is by Durer, arguably the best woodblock printer ever.
    Nice Albrecht Dürer reference, Mr. Greengoat. He's probably one of my all time favorite artists. The things he accomplished with blocks of wood are amazing. I could see maybe roughing up the shoreline to make it more irregular, but its not a deal breaker for me. I guess it depends on what his goal for the map is....to look like it is an actual woodblock printing or just mimic one.

    Ya, like I said, it was just nitpicking. Sometimes you want to aim for simulation and sometime you want clarity. It's kind of the whole prop versus tool usage for the map in question.

    I'll chime in with my compliments as well. Nothing really constructive to say, other than it looks fantastic. I love maps done in this style/look.
