Hi Caenwyr.

First, I'd like to say that I'm really amazed by your map. From the colors to the subtle shading (your riverbanks are the best I've ever seen!), it's almost as if the relief jumps out of the picture ! I'd like to be able to do that and for this goal, your work will be very inspirational. I'd like to ask you one question that's a bit odd. It's about the background you used for the texture. Did you find it somewhere or did you do it yourself ? If you made it, could you share how ?

I'm looking for that kind of grainy feeling but without success. I tried vellum, parchment, woven paper, canvas, canson, car stock, crafts, I can't find this feel.
Hope you can help me.

Thanks for your work, it makes me want to better mine. As soon as I can, I'll rep you for it.

Thomas
