Incredible map as usual, and I'm really fond of your borders and shields as well.
Yes it's a style I didn't worked lately and there's some things here and there that can be improved but I might use it (or something very close) on some future works again.
@ Sapiento : all is done in PS. As for the CoA, like I said in the OP, I didn't make them, they were provided by the client. I just tweaked them with colors/texture to make them more consistent each together.

Fantastic like always. The borders in this map make me hate you!
Thanks Ilanthar and Aquarits!
How long did it take you to make?
Very nice. Very professional.
Thank you It took me a few weeks to finish it, but mostly because we had a lot of discussion with the client about what to put or not in the map since we had many options at the start.
Nice one, as usual!
46"x33"...... what resolution did you work at? at 300DPI that would be HUUUGE!

Thanks Rob, this one was made at 150 DPI, which is enough for this kind of poster size.
Beautiful artwork. A fine map! One thing I'd work on is your rivers. Near your Monts des Aigles mountains you have the same river exiting to two separate coastlines. Geography doesn't really work that way. Rivers start high up and gravity their way down to a single exit point.
Thanks As for the river you're talking about, there are actually several rivers (note that only a few are labeled - those who have some importance in the LARP world, according to client request), which are connected by some human-made channel (north western part of Monts des Aigles).
