Very good. Nice and clean and professional looking. I am sure that the publisher was very pleased with the result.
Westeros map and family tree (Commission)
In 2019 Russian publisher of George R. R. Martin books consult me about bonus appendix for new edition and then commissioned map and genealogy tree for "Knight of Seven Kingdoms" with Gary Gianny art. In original version of the book there is no any map and two castles, setting place of novellas, are missed on any official English maps. I've already explored their position for my personal project of interactive map, but this couldn't be published without Martin's blessing. Bonus materials was approved by author himself with fictional note, that positions of two castles reconstructed by maesters and could be changed.

I've made two version of map (publisher preferred first one), genealogy tree and coat of arm for Targaryen. This is not a work of art, I even copy main book font family, but such maps are easy to read.
Book released this month.
Instruments: Adobe Illustrator.

Hope so.
Sharp looking map, and I like the fact you achieved such great results in Adobe Illustrator! If I may ask, how many layers did it take to produce this in Illustrator?
Thank you! In this case I have 18 main layers with additional groups (text layer contain 5 groups for example).
