    Here is a WIP of map 2. This is the one that's been doing my brain in. I've still got to add some symbols to the top area for ruins, the stairs a door, some lines for the amphitheater at the bottom and label it. Any suggestions for improvement are always welcome, for example, where the hatching is, should I do that in a straight black and fill the entire area? I don't know...

    Sounds like I'll be getting next years Annual as well then...

    Righto. After some feedback from the author, I've done a bit of fiddling; moving the shaft and crevasse about 5.5m to the right - did that using relative coordinates via the command line - that was interesting. Would you believe, after going to the trouble of scaling the reference map ( a pretty rubbish and loose sketch, NOT drawn to scale, if I'm honest) so the shaft, the most important feature of the map was near enough to the correct size, I then proceeded to trace the resized map. No surprise then the distance between the cliffs and the shaft and the shaft and forest are completely off. I also added some bits and pieces. The vertical ruin just to the bottom right of the shaft, a request by the author for some standing ruin, I'm not happy with at all but they're the best I could find and I'll be buggered if I'm hand drawing them - if the publisher and author don't like them I'll happily remove them but they won't be getting anything in their stead. Unless there is some other error on my part this map is done. I've spent far too much time on it already.

    These are really good @simianorganism !

    I agree with @Monsen re the road, perhaps you could put some cart tracks in also?

    @Loopysue @Wyvern Thanks for your comments and suggestions folks. A very big help indeed. This isn't perfect (but what is?) but I think for what I'm charging, the client is getting a very good map.

    Here is my 'final' draft version.
