Lovely, I really like the canvas texture as well!
That is beautiful! I love the pen & ink/watercolor look.

I updated the image with a larger version (75% of the size I drew it at). I think this is a good "final" size for the image.
Appreciate the comment on the canvas pattern, Ravs. I tried to keep it subtle, using a cloud layer mask to dampen areas of the canvas pattern overlay, but would go with the ink/watercolour look.
Here is a subtle variation. I flattened the map image and performed a slight displacement map using the same canvas texture. This makes the map look painted on the canvas more, now, rather than just having a canvas texture. Any preferences?
(Now I have to leave this, or I'll keep playing forever!)

That is a nice, really nice map.

Rob, I LOVE this map. Its authentic, hand drawn feel is wonderful, and the use of the inking details (ex: the hatching in the fields) is a perfect middleground between sparse and dense. I myself prefer the displacement mapped version, for I think hand-drawn needs some sort of authentic texture to complete the effect. On that same note, I am not fond of the edges fading out. But otherwise I think this is great, just great!

The feeling in this map is really strong. Good Work!
I love the frame and the compass Rose!
Did you get them somewhere or make them for the map?
