    Thank you, Wired. The map is actually based on the Mike Schley Style but because of the size of the continent I decided not to use symbols as mountains and go with a top down view instead.
    Since you mention DSA, are you German? As far as I know, DSA was not that popular outside of Germany.

    Thank you, Tilby. I spent quite some time adjusting the hue, saturation and lightness of the textures.

    Yes, I'm German. I was really into DSA back in the late 90s and early 2000s (ough, I'm old).

    If there was a remark to make (and it is rather a question of taste) it would be on the transition between land and sea: the blur, for me, tends to accentuate the "posed" effect of land on the sea, instead of softening the transition... But as I said : it's really a matter of personal taste. Your map looks great the way it is !
    Thank you, JO. For the continents we were supposed to only use standard CC3+ means, so I tried to get the most out of it.
    As for the blur, do you mean the coastline or the shallow waters around the coast. The coast line should not be blurred, though, the effect may occur because of the reduced resolution of the uploaded picture.
    I'm not sure on how to remove this on the smaller version. But I may look into posting a 4k version here, so one can see all the details without using an external link.

    Nice, I'm Swiss
