I really like it Voolf! It's so easy to get bogged down in playing around with a map that you're never satisfied (and in my case, the map never get finished ). Your linework as always is top-notch, the ocean is just fantastic and so are the illustrations. I think the colours are fine, but personally I think slightly heavier shadows would have worked better. It might have alleviated there seemingly being too many lines around the mountains (I don't think there are btw).

If I may give a piece of advice about colors. I recently started working with filled layers for the colors of my map, working on a black mask to make the color appear where I want it and with the flow I want. When I'm not satisfied by the color, I just have to change it by double clicking on the layer and the blending modes get me where I want to go. It's way less frustrating and way more efficient. My two cents.
Thant's any interesting technique Thomas, which I might just have a play with at some point.
