    It's awesome! I love this, what a dragon!
    It's a sight that may be terrifying for sailors... hence the "(soggy) bottom bay" ?

    Thanks aeshnidae
    You can do it.

    Thanks Thomas
    I always appreciate your comments.
    Whimsy is fun to work with. I'll have to do some more fun maps like this.

    Hehe, there are some dark and not so tasty bits in my head, so be mindful of those. ;P

    Leave a little for me as well, D, if you'd be so kind!

    Thanks Ilanthar
    He is terrifying, no? ;P hehe.

    In case anyone was wondering, yes, I like children's book, storybook, fairytale, wonder book style illustrations.
    They're cute and fun and lighthearted in a world that is often very dark.

    I agree with everyone, this map is amazing - something I can always expect from your work J.Edward. I love the colours, the scattered rocks, the island shape....
    I seriously don't know how to describe my love for this. Maybe some rep will help>?

    Great idea, beautiful work. This should be the inspiration for either a fantasy novel, or an RPG Adventure module.

    Nice work, John. This is another great showpiece for your highly detailed drawing and your muted/subtle colouring.

    The world's you make must be very well-supplied with islands by now

    EDIT: can't rep you at the moment. Gotta spread it around a bit more

    Ironically, I got a really good commission based on my island maps
    They wanted a bunch of islands. So I get to do more islands.
