    Update time. Most of the actual map is complete. Things I have planned:

    • The route our brave adventurers take, probably some kind of dashed line
    • A corner illustration showing the adventurers
    • A fancy-schmancy title
    • Various info and illustrative boxes showing the stages of the quest, likely number-linked to spots on the map

    Oh my! Crests as well now!

    You're going to have to put some flaws in there Diamond otherwise people are going to suspect that you might not be altogether human

    This is already a beautiful piece of work Even if I have noticed some repetition in some of the parchment 'blemishes' Is that a flaw or a feature?

    I'm looking forward to how the quest will manifest.

    Another update, showing the brave heroes out to stop the villainy of Shahzor the Black. Also some background color because I was getting sick of staring at that white (it is subject to change), and a title bar.

    Disclaimer: Obviously, the artwork is not mine; it is from various Paizo publications and is copyright Paizo.

    Very nice additions, I love the shields and the characters - nice touch to have them on the map

    Wow D!

    This is looking incredible!

    I love those little portraits. They must have taken you AGES to draw.

    Excellent ! Very good idea, those portraits ! And I like the crest very much !
    Maybe a little thing ? The bevel on the crest are a bit too high (and too strong ?) to my taste... but it's a matter of taste, I think...

    As I said, I didn't draw 'em. They're from Paizo D&D/Pathfinder products. I think the artist on all but one is Miguel Rigodon.

    Sorry, I just wanted to emphasize that I did NOT draw them.

    Oh cool...
    I love the font/style on the big titles. Good choice!
    The colors and the relief on the mountains of your map are really nice, too!
    The only thing I am personally not to keen about, is that Bevel&Emboss effect on the crests. I think the size of the effect is just too big/soft and that makes it look a bit "cheap" (for the lack of a better word) compared to the rest of your map.
    Anyway, very cool map and a good page layout!
