Oh - you really are coming along in leaps and bounds, Straf

Why don't you view this last one, and then also open one of your earliest versions of the same map side by side and you will see the startling differences for yourself.

I think, for my next suggestion (and it is as always only a suggestion) I might look at the possibility of thinning down the mountain lines just a tiny amount, adding a few much finer lines for shading the way that you did before, and also consider lightening the background just a little to increase the contrast between the velum and the ink - just a tad, that's all. It is a very beautiful golden colour, but if the ink is always going to be a few shades lighter than black for authenticity you will be in danger of losing the finer details as you add more and more to the map unless you make that background a bit paler

Well, that was more than just one suggestion, I know! Sorry about that. You might be thinking that I'm finding an awful lot of faults with your map, but really I'm quite excited about the enormous progress you are making with each turn.

@ Kacey - well timed and very useful information on map sizes and preparing images for upload. I'm all at sea when it comes to technical knowhow with anything other than CC3. I never realised you used compression at all. Just goes to show what a master you are! And - stop that you! I'm red enough already! LOL!
