It's a pity you can't do it the way I do it in dreams. The water exists as air. The only way I can tell I'm underwater is the light, the ripples in the sky, and the creatures swimming past. Think Mars gravity, thick air you can fly through if you flap your arms, coral and kelp instead of grass and trees, and 'flocks' of fish flying past instead of birds.

It looks like an artefact that can happen sometimes if there are 2 nodes very close together. It will probably appear and disappear as you zoom in and out.

The solution is to use the SIMPLIFY command to remove these problematic nodes.

Type SIMPLIFY on your keyboard and hit Enter. Look at the command prompt and see the distance set by default. You can enter a new value, or just hit Return again to use that one. Then use the tool to simplify the coastline of the island the line is coming from.

If you lose too much detail just hit the undo (CTRL+Z) and reduce the factor and try again.

Following Ralf's most recent Live Mapping Session demonstrating the use of the his John Speed City style, published in the first Cartographer's Annual, I did this map this evening.

John Speed had actually done a map of this town - my county town, so I used that as a reference for the approximate shape and form of my own map.

This is the first map I've ever done in this style, and I enjoyed it enormously.

I hope you don't mind, Ralf, but I decided to add a parchment texture overlay...

With Darklands handed over to Ralf we have decided on a new project.

A marine dungeon style.

I'm right at the beginning here, but despite the lack of symbols there's been a lot of hidden work getting the textures and sheet effects to work together.

You can attach the current palette to the drawing by clicking the Attach to drawing button in the Drawing presets dialog |CC2PRESETS|

Remember to save the file afterwards.
