    When I looked up the definition of 'hag', I found a second definition, which read: "an overhang of peat." and "a soft place on a moor or a firm place in a bog."
    So I decided to move along those lines and placed the Hag Mounds in a peat bog.
    I also added a volcano, since I missed the Volcano Lite Challenge.

    I must say, there are several maps in the current thumbnails that are really thinking out of the box.
    I can't wait to see the final images.

    Sincerely,
    Josiah Yarbrough

    this looks like it'll be stellar! i dig the fun patchwork of places, although it's a little difficult (at least from my screen) to discern everything just yet. i can't wait to see it inked!

    Thanks, guys!

    Believe it or not this is my first attempt at 'inking' a map. I was praying that I wouldn't totally ruin it.

    What do you think? I am going to shade in the terrain with graphite for the final rendering.

    Maybe create a grayscale version of your seal? It really sticks out on this map and pulls attention away from the actual content. I expect it would have a similar effect on any monochrome map.

    That's a lot better, IMO.
