    Very nice ! I like the idea of the shadows for the trees.
    The compass is also an excellent idea (and very nice illustration)! And surely, water bodies can be seen in many colours, even in our world . Looks great this way (no nitpick about colours on this one from me this time ).

    And I have no problem whatsoever with the colouring. It is a bit out there, yes, but the palette is harmonious and very pleasing to the eye.

    If I had to nitpick on something, I'd say the labels on the mountain ranges could maybe have used a tad wider stroke around them.

    Nice work on this. Definitely one for the inspiration folder.
    Thanks Kell. I'm so happy you like it! I think you're correct about the stroke on the mountain labels. A little more wouldn't have hurt.

    Thanks so much, Beee! Vector maps can often be a little sterile compared to hand-drawn. I tried to get away from that as best as I could.

    As Kellerica says though, this map really does convey its meaning really clearly and appears very clear. Nice!
    Thanks Arimel! Haha, I'm thinking there'll be amazing sunsets if the sky is purple Glad you like the map!

    Thanks! I can live with cartoony (it's vector after all!)

    It makes me think of how, in The Odyssey, Homer at one point uses the phrase "the wine-dark sea."
    Thanks Joseph, I like the sound of wine-dark seas.

    Aw thanks, Ilanthar. I wasn't sure, after the last map, if I was going completely over the top once again haha!
