    Beautiful work! I'm kind of the opposite of Eilathen for that matter, I love the fact that a fictional world is represented in such a realistic and convincing way

    My question here is: how is it more realistic? A map in a more ancient style (aka more inworld appropriate) can just as much depict how the world looks like aka realistic. I guess what you mean is modern. This is a modern style. It's not per se more realistic.

    Not trying to be controversial here...it's just something that always rubs me the wrong way if that's the "argument" for such a style.

    Yeah, as Gadiouka says, the point of a map like this is to show that this wolrd cound acctually be represented by modern means, as if it existed. I love ancient and fantasy maps as well, but the point for this modern style for me is to bring details to the world that otherwise could not be depicted. This makes the world a defined "stage" where distances, orography, places, etc., are exactly defined.

    Thanks to all for the support by the way!
