Thanks Rigo. I guess I sort of felt the same way.
Regarding the blue water... I'll give it another shot tomorrow but I did try it once and it just didn't look right.
I actually started the whole thing with blue water. It didn't look right as I progressed and that's why I changed it.
But like I said, I'll take another look at it.
Chashio - yep, that kind of how I am seeing it now.
I always just used the stroke method because it seemed like doing all those coast lines would just take too long.
But it went surprisingly quick so I am thinking I'll do that more often.
It does seem more consistent with the hand drawn style.

And just because... I put together all the Gondor lettering.
There were 2 others but they just didn't turn out well.
I really need to get back to Haerlech and Sagemound.
