Here's your other map resampled, blurred a little, and saved as jpg.
That water compresses well, so the other route might still be open to you.
Thanks meleeguy... once I figured out it was a 800x600 I just quit bothering with compressing it ... what did you use to squish it?

And one more update .... this one is starting to get a little blurry...

And another one .. this time ... the right size... figured out what was going on ... it wasn't clipping to my artboard so it was saving it at my monitor size... that's what happened on the last WIP anyways... still don't know how I got the 800x600 file going...

PhotoShop 7, "Save for Web..."
It couldn't improve on your latest though.
Ya.. both my photoshop and illustrator do a pretty good job of squeezing every bit of juice it can to compress something... They are like a couple of 1200 lbs. Gorilla's ... I'll call them Kimbada and Rayray.
Added some steps and steps and steps...and stairs... a well, a pathway... So many mixed feelings on doors.. not sure If i'm going to add any ...
PHENOMINAL COSMIC AMOUNT OF TIME!!!
itty bitty file size!!

*points at the cracked stairs*
"I'm not climbing those things - you do it!"
66k and change, not bad!![]()
Ya... at least I got the effect of the stairs across ... was afraid people would just mark it up to how bad I am at digital art
Hopefully I can furnish the whole thing in under 75k ... maybe.. maybe not.. but I'll try![]()
