    Excellent work! I don't seem to be able to rep you right now, but I will say that this is a very nice map...

    ...as usual...

    ...

    ...I too am not particularly keen on the corners, Mouse, but I have to say, the way Max makes his parchment textures blend into the drawn edges of the map is quite something

    Really love it, it looks very authentically like a map of the Caribbean.

    Max how did you achieve the horizontal lines surrounding the coast, with a patterned outer glow or something? I see this effect on contemporary maps, I'd love to try that style.

    Well - as everybody it seems - I love this one! Not so surprising since I really loved your challenge map of "The Hunt".
    The similar yet different caribean look is so well done! Just inspiring and gorgeous .

    Ooh, this is quite nice! Feels very much like a pirate map. Fantastic piece.

    Crazy good! I actually like those corner, even though they're odd if you think about it. Very nice fonts too!

    Another well drawn map. I'm not too keen on the exaggerated length of the curled up corners, but I do love the edges

    Ah ah yes, the parchment corners are purposely exaggerated indeed

    Yes, this is some pattern made with hand-drawn lines. I've painted the pattern on all the maps, select the lands, expand the selection with smooth and delete the land parts.Voilà !

    This is my favourite of the two maps you've posted recently. I love that parchment and I'm a fan of the curly corners.

    Labelling and colouring are beautifully done and the whole thing is just a treat to look at!
