I think a simple color change on the letters would go a long way, possibly black but otherwise it looks pretty sweet to me.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

No way. I just found this and I do believe it's ludicrously awesome.
EDIT: How has this wonderment evaded my gaze for so long?
Thanks all! I'll try to make those color changes and will post the results.
Here is my new attempt with slight changes in levels and colors... I think it's better.
Well, I gave this thing a swing, though it's decidedly non-maplike and much more self-portaitesque, and the whole method is pretty freaking awesome.
Excellent tutorial.! Have to give it a try soon.
I can't believe I didn't notice this before.
I was looking through and pondering, I'll have to give this a go. i see a few thngs i might do differently, such as turning the text layers into smart objects before I start working on them, but the steps after that might make it redundant. Still, worth a try (after I finish my current map)

"...sometimes the most efficient way to make something look drawn by hand is to simply draw it by hand..."
I just came across this tut also - amazing. The trickery! Looks like real tiles !
Hi, I've been slaving over some mosaic replica artwork recently, drawing each tile by hand using vector paths. I couldn't find any other way of getting a genuine looking finish without hand drawing 20-30,000 tiles and going through several Wacom nibs! This tutorial is an absolute God-send. I have just started working on a mosaic map and I stumbled across this at the perfect moment, It's going to save me so much time and will hopefully allow better results as I can produce more pieces. Thank you so much, I'm deeply grateful (and so is my wacom).
