Thanks guys. While I was away, I didn't get any mapping done so I did this in an attempt to rekindle my cartography fire. I'm now on other projects but I might do something like this again in the future since it was so much fun to do.

In under an hour that is really something. I doubt I'd even have my sketch scanned in that time. :S
I presume you already had that scroll background? Or acquired it? Because if you also created that scroll in PS in that time then I think I'll just uninstall mine. Hehe.

I have to say that a short sharp map is a great idea. Nice map too.
The scroll and the skull & crossbones pics came from free clip art that I found online. I've also sped up my scanning time by using the import option in PS that allows me to drop the scanned image directly into Photoshop instead of using the scanner command and then finding the stored image and then opening it up in PS.

I love these quick and dirty maps and was actually thinking about tossing that out as a challenge idea. I do these as well to re-light my fire but my hand-drawn ones never come out this nice Good stuff, man.
