The idea was to create scenes which had lots of detail so you feel that you can always find something new each game hidden in the illustrations. Look out in the final game for secret details on the open ocean like whales, messages in bottles and even the lurking shadows of monstrous sea monsters ...
Here are the island tiles and an open sea tile for the game. In the final product there will be more open ocean tiles between areas with all sorts of hazards and adventures to encounter...
Set sail and enjoy!
