Very nice. I've always liked maps. And yours is very traditional. It adds to whole fantasy touch. Greta work.

I just wanted you to know that I have looked at all your comments and thank you. If i don't respond to them it is because I am saving them in my New Messages so I don't have to go searching for the comments when I go to do the corrections. Thank you so much for the time you have spent on all of this. And yes I will tell the world when this book is out.

How do you get that old age effect on the page?

Which part of the old age.
Some of it is scanned paper with color corrections. Some painted textures with painted folds. And the the map is inked by hand. Any parts you want described in more detail?

That would be Water Color paper 140 lb, I soaked it in a a black tea and coffee bath with salt to concentrates the color saturation. Then I just scanned it. Color corrected it I also used plain water with a brush and sprinkled a dry tea packet. Just a light dusting.
