The illustrations and seamonsters add a lot to this already splendid map. I also like the border for both the illustrations and the whole map. Not so sure about the brown splashes along the border though. I like them on your recent maps done in a more painterly style, where it ads to this flair. Here it looks a bit too messy in my view, compared with the very neat rest of the map. Maybe put them under the border / as an overlay on the parchment background? Anyway, fantastic job (as always )!
