    Thanks so much folks I'm glad you like this map. It's a fun way to go over the top with the creepy tropes. Oh and Super Metroid is just fantastic Adfor, that era of gaming was one of the best! Super Ghouls and Ghosts was one of my own personal favourites. Thanks all for commenting.

    This is looking really great, Weery! Two things:

    1. You have a typo - 'Besides, he told (me) he'd be waiting...'

    2. How would it look if you toned down the canvas pattern just a bit?

    Thanks Diamond! I'll fix the typo for the next update.

    And I'll definitely try to tone down the texture as per your advice. It's not very subtle at the moment! Takes you out of the map a bit? Thanks for the advice as always

    Latest version. I've tried to soften the texture but it lightens the red too much and I like it being so pink and bloody the way it is right now. So I've left it for the moment but will try again

    Weery this is super creepy - and very cool looking...

    One thing that, in my opinion, would make it look even better (although I'm not sure how to do it): could you make the edges of your lines a bit blurry or fuzzy to look as though the ink has bled into the canvas?

    Thanks so much Wingshaw

    That's a great idea about the bleeding ink effect but I'm not having much luck with it. Certainly not to a level I'd be happy with. It would look great though if I could put what I'm imagining onto the page Thanks again.

    I've managed to soften the canvas effect while maintaining the colours as they are. I'm almost finished with this one. Only have to edit the text to reflect the changes to the map itself and I want to try work the overground section a small bit more.

    Thanks for looking

    I think this is done (unless any mistakes jump out).

    I started this with a loose plan that continued to change and develop over the days I worked on it. I hope it's suitably disturbing. I know for a fact I never want to find myself in a vault filled with stone rubble on the 4th level of the Barrow of Fell Nightmares face to face with the Lady in the Dark, reaching for me, eager to play...

    As always, thanks for having a look

    Really nice work. The canvas doesn't look nearly as overpowering now, really harmonious with the colors. And this is just a great concept - love it.

    That's horribly disturbing and a very cool concept. The spiders give me the chills - I'm so afraid of spiders, I think I couldn't even manage to draw anything like that without fleeing my own desk.
    The only thing I don't like are the hands of the lady in the dark. For me they don't match the overall style of the map.
