Damn, you are right. Had an idea for making them look a bit more like ink. Here:

Bill Stickers is innocent! It isn't Bill's fault that he was hanging out in the wrong place.

Always another criticism
I'm not sure this is the case. Watercolours definitely go the other way - with the darkest area being around the edges. Have a look at this.
How could we reach perfection without it?Don't worry I'll eventually start posting some stuff so everyone can pick on me.
If they are watercolor dashes than what you have will work, if they are colored ink, than it is the other way around. I thought they were ink. Having taken many a drafting class, me and ink have a history.

Okay, well it is watercolour now then!
I've done a bit of inking myself and I thought I remembered it being that way round. You've almost got me to go and get my brush out... Maybe over the weekend. What's the opinion on the new lines between the features. I'm not entirely convinced but I can't quite see what to do about it.
Artist inking isn't the same as draftsman inking. Draftsman don't use brushes for example. Well, modern draftsman anyway.
I'm not sure which "new lines between the features" you are referring to.

Fair enough.
Sorry for the lack of description. I mean the coastlines, for example the line between Safe Haven and the Duergar fortress.
I think the coastline lines look very hand drawn and fit the rest of the map for the most part. I would think that they would more closely match the dashed lines, unless the dashes were added to an existing map of course.Originally Posted by torstan

Coming along nicely! I like the watercolor dashes (although they could use a blur of some degree to drop the sharp edges.)
The coasts are better now, much better.
Great work.
