    EDIT: I see Diamond changed up his style and is now doing something similar for his land!
    I have a book called The Agile Rabbit Book of Historical and Curious Maps that has what I'm trying to emulate, but I'm having trouble finding examples online. It's a lot of extremely intricate and controlled line work and I think I'm not able to replicate it yet. My tablet is just cheap and not very accurate but, more importantly, I don't have a good understanding of how to make elevation out of tiny lines.

    I should probably stop messing around soon and get this done!

    Thanks for the link to Diamond's supersweet mountains!

    cheers,
    Meshon

    Edit: Found this map that's similar to what I was trying to accomplish. I'll let it go for now, but one day…
