    Default July / Aug '17 Lite Challenge: Dieselpunk Airship Pirate's Treasure Map

    This is my first go at anything like this. Hope I've got everything done properly.

    FLavor Text:
    The Polzev Commonwealth and the Opruvalon League have been at war for seventeen years. Many new and terrible industrial inventions and blood magics are used, often with horrific results. The newest are magical "hell bombs", that have begun to be employed with near apocalyptic results. The two sides have been exhausted and the war is almost over.
    This inspired by the old GDW RPG "Twilight 2000", the film "Kelly's Heros", dieslepunk, the great many weird war II type comics I grew up on, and the many rumors and legends of lost treasures from WWII. It's similar to, but not the same as, another project I'm working on.

    The (unfinished) main map below is intended to be a part of a nautical chart detailing an atoll that served as an airship station. The station has been abandoned.

    Re working the mapa bit. I will be incorporating elements from the previous map.

    Wow! All really intricately detailed!

    Do you think it might look a bit clearer if the contour lines were less dominant? Either that or the sea level/coastline thicker than all the others?

    I'm getting a really pixelated line on everything. At this early stage it might be better to scale up the map so that you can use a pen that is wider than 1 pixel (that's what it looks like on screen, anyway) and with a very slightly soft edge.

    Hmmm...

    Was just about topost today's work. Maybe found a fix that also gave an interesting unintended effect I kind of like.

    Better?
