    Default May 2016 Challenge: Blackdust Anchors

    Okay, well, I wasn't sure if I'd enter this one or not, as I have a lot of work going on at the moment, but little over a week in and here I am.

    Anyway, I haven't actually spent too long doing it so far, but have been messing around a little and am pretty pleased with how things are turning out. I was originally going to do a black and white map, but got a little carried away. I still want to keep things fairly simple, but the new style is definitely one I'm happy with.

    I've still yet to add all the trade symbols, do a border, trade times, or add the dangers themselves (although I do have some danger zones). I will probably have a break from working on this for now and get back to Uni work (and also the Lite Challenge ), but any feedback would be appreciated.

    Oh, and done entirely on Photoshop.

    I love the way this looks. The texture in the background is great! And of course your color blending make it seem like a real map. Fantastic work so far.

    This is really great! The trade good symbols are excellent, and the overall feel of it is just spot on.

    Who can pass up a good challenge? Looking good, especially like the small trade goods symbols

    Thanks for all the great and encouraging words everyone!

    I'm pretty pushed at the moment, but I'll try to get another update done by the end of next week.

    Off to a solid start. Presentation of information here is simple and clear, and the map is attractive.

    Cheers,
