Here's my entry for the Jan/feb 2017 Lite Challenge : "Create a treasure map"

I went for a classic pirate map. Drawn with photoshop and a tweaked brush inspired by something J.Edward described in his City of Haerlech thread. I tried to get a "from the world" feel but went a little overboard with some shading. Let's say it's some kind of magic map that can show the shading on the trees and the mountains (maybe even moving shadows showing the passing of daylight). The original map didn't display a title but I added it. The first picture is the titled map. The second is the map with the indications to the treasure. And the bonus, the GIF I did to show the indications. All the text is hand written even if I cloned the letters to get something consistent. Here's the WIP. As it is my first win in a challenge, I guess I'll frame it
