Thank you Francesca! By the way, I love your borders

Really like the added color it ties the background border with the map, great job. Maybe slightly more shadow? for depth?

[Greg]

It's a real shame you couldn't quite get this done on time for the challenge, the added colour really brings it to life that extra bit. Really gorgeous work, Iceman!

I agree with snodsy maybe a teeny bit more shadow could work, but that's really a nitpick on an otherwise splendid job.

[TimPaul]

This is great. I love maps like this. I've wanted to try my hand at them, but just haven't had the spare time.

[ThomasR]

Really nice to see it colored

[Straf]

This just gets better and better.

I noticed you named and shamed the thieving scoundrel who helped himself when others weren't looking.

I also agree with the lack of contrast in the final result. Painting with grey scale and then colorizing is a new technique for me. It seems like the contrast that I had in grey was lost in the conversion. Plus i didn't actually paint on top anyway, it's just a straight change in hue. Something that i'll have to work on for next time, possibly playing with curves could fix quite a bit.

I thought you might notice that
