I like the illustrations very much.

Thanks, Simkin!

I finished the corner squares and added the title and some various nomenclature. I really don't like the typography side of maps. It is so hard to make professional and presentable text.

See the little fishies? I thought that was a nice touch.

It looks great! To me, the typography looks pretty good. And I like the little fishies.

I agree, the illustrations add so much.

Thanks, Diamond. I figured the fish would give a little life to the scene. I did not have space but a giant sea-monster also dwells in the Knife Reef...

I agree, the illustrations add so much.

Thank you, J.!

I've added color! Rather than gray or brown caves I wanted to give it that cold, blue-green aesthetic that the Claw game has. Has anyone else played Claw (1997)?

I'm getting near the end!

Boy! I've worn out my wrist trying to blacken and blend the solid areas.

It's looking really excellent - see? Leaps and bounds better than the original.
