CHALLENGE: Walk the Plank

Challenge winner >(")< asks you to help a band of filthy pirates walk like a pirate this week by creating a treasure map so they can find buried treasure.

The big challenge though is to have at least one part of your map pop out. This piece illustrates the idea, but this isn't necessarily an iso challenge. You can make any part pop out, whether it's a fantasy creature, a treasure chest or some land masses. Be creative!

You don't have to create a typical looking pirate map like this piece, but you must at least indicate where 'North' is and have an 'X' to denote where the buried treasure is.

Canvas Size - Max 256 x 256.
Colors - Max 21. Use only colors from this palette:

Transparency - Optional.
Animation - Optional.

Thanks so much to all who took the time to vote and participate in the challenge!

I truly thought those colors would be more problematic. Good job Elk.

We kinda knew that but decided it would make for a bigger challenge to depend on cartographic drawing/art instead of lighting which seemed like the obvious direction most would take.

Is the palette image showing for all?

That's pretty sweet, Elk. 

I really loved these maps. But there are a few maps, I thought we would have 10 or more.

I would make something really creative, but the colors and my patience limited me.

I hope you like. =D

I'm not sure about this one...
