    Congratz finishing this one. It turnd out splendid. Amaizing amount of details around the gorgeous map. You did well with the colours and the corner human illustrations are just a blast for me!

    this is gorgeous, though I don't think marking Occident and Orient on a world map like this makes much sense, unless I;m misunderstanding something.

    An amazing piece of work here! The map truly shows a piece of work that really inspires me to do large scale maps like this! I'll be back with some rep!

    First of all, this map is amazing. The level of detail is staggering. The hemispherical design makes a lot of sense, and all the little bits of lore and art that surround it are very interesting and beautiful too. The maps themselves are of course gorgeous.
    I will say this, though: I find the font size, both in and around the maps, is too small for my taste. I can barely read the map labels and the nation names on the scrolls. The names next to the colored circles (which I think are ethnic groups?) are almost illegible. I don't think it'd hurt the map composition to enlarge the font, if just slightly.
    Also, I'm having some difficulty understanding the two small central maps. Do they in fact show ethnic or racial groupings? A label that explains what are supposed to represent would've been nice.
    But overall, an incredible map, very much worthy of all of the awards and praise and stuff.

    I'll allow myself to explain on Ilanthar's behalf: the words 'occident' and 'orient' in their original Latin meanings simply referred to the part of the sky where the sun set and rose, respectively, so essentially just 'west' and 'east'. Later the words came to be used in a geopolitical/cultural context of 'Western' and 'Eastern' countries, specifically Europe and the Middle and/or Far East. I'd say using the words in their original, , meaning makes perfect sense on any kind of world map.

    A beautiful map indeed! I love it! The style of the border is intricately delicious, as are the mountains. Yum.

    I just love that overall mapping style. So no wonder i do love this map. I wish we could see the full-res. Is there a place to read up on the world itself? I'm curious.

    Now that i think about it...didn't you start a WIP for this map here? Did i miss the progress on that WIP or didn't you post progress updates?

    Anyway, a beautiful map, no question. And the little art-pieces just give it so much more depth and flavor (although i do love me some maps-only versions as well ). If i can, I'll Rep. you (but it might be too early).

    So beautiful and so much detailed ! What a work !!!
    Merci beaucoup Joël !

    By Galendae
    Map of the Year for 2018? I know it influenced me and gave me great inspiration! Absolutely love it. Awesome job Ilanthar!
    PS If I could Rep you I would.
    Thanks, Galendae ! Well, time will tell.

    By Abu Lafia
    I said it over on Twitter already: A true Masterpiece Ilanthar! I agree with Galendae, i bet it'll rank high in the Atlas Awards (That the map deserves a Cartographer's Choice Award seems so obvious to me, i'm not sure it needs to be mentioned... ) Thanks for sharing your wonderful work with us!
    Thanks a lot! You're almost making me blush .

    Uff can't rep again... beautifull work.
    No worries, thanks for your kind comment Naima !

    What a gorgeous monster of a piece.
    That's going to take some time to explore.
    Just so much good stuff in this one.
    I have to spread some rep, but I will return.
    Thanks a lot, John. I'm really glad you enjoy this one .

    By Greason Wolfe
    A very kind and smart artist in my opinion. This looks fantastic!!! And I've got some REP to spare.
    Thanks a lot, Wolfe!

    By Kellerica
    I'll have to echo everyone else: this is a bloody masterpiece, Il. Truly superb work, I can only imagine how long it took. I could stare at this frame work all day!
    Edit: Argh, out of rep!! I'll be back!
    It took time, for sure (and more time than I expected for the coloring). Thanks a lot Kellerica!

    Thanks a lot, Rafal! It took me some time to think and do those illustrations. And some (partly failed) have been changed near the end.

    Glad you like it, D! I'm still laughing from your rep comment . Thanks a lot.

    Thanks! The Oriens/Occidens thing is inspired from an old map I have on one of my walls (that I partly took as an exemple for this one), and more for eastern/western countries in a cultural way.

    Thanks a lot, Arimel! And looking forward to see a large scale map from you .

    Thanks, Daelin! Yeah, the text is a bit small, especially on this version at 66% of the original. The two small views are displaying the great cultural areas (so a bit less precise than "ethnic groups").

    Well, there's my Tipeee, but it's in french. I think I spare some details here and there around the old map or other maps in the same world and posted here.
    There wasn't truly a WIP for this one, just some posts in my Sketches & Tests thread.
    And thanks !
