I agree with Remy.

And just because I make lots of those arty type styles it doesn't mean that I don't find the more practical maps interesting and beautiful. I once trianed to be an OS cartographer ;)

That was quite a huge project, Jim. Well done :)

My goodness! Isn't there an easier way to do this?

Have you ever used Krita? It's one of the many free bitmap editors, but the main reason I have it is to work on hand drawn textures. It has this really useful feature where if you press W the image is tiled on an endless plane of repeats, and you can draw anything you like on it - it will automatically tile seamlessly.

It must be different in Australia ;)

I went on a photography course and was told off for not placing the flower right in the centre of the shot.

But the real point of what I was saying was that it actually doesn't matter at all - as long as it looks somehow balanced to the person who created it. Some of these rules make me giggle.

And nice to see you around agian, Scott :)
