    Indeed. On the other hand, it's great not being strictly sticked to one mapmaking style since there's a lot of possibilities

    @mat_r: Thanks I honestly have no idea since it is a hands-on hands-off project I have work on whenever there is time or pressing publications requiring it.

    @Mouse: You heard right, thank you so much!

    @tainotim: Thanks! Man, the day I stand in front of it can't come soon enough

    @AzureIsland: It was entirely done in Photoshop CC. I've honestly lost count of hours and since loading / saving times are so long I can only guess. Thanks!

    @- Max -: Too kind, thank you =)

    Massive project! I must confess that - as some others - I'm not a big fan of this kind of mountains. On the opposite, I love the cities style.

    Beautiful! I really like the compass rose, too. Very unique.

    @Wired: Thanks =)

    @Ilanthar: Thank you. Yes, it is simply a stilistic choice which is decisive if people like it or not, I guess.

    @Kasiadoris: Thank you! Even though it was a bit too elaborate on the edges making it a bit hard to handle on other maps, I learned from it and the next one was more clear. They will vary on each map and each of them sums up the flair of the region. I included another one that will come on anothe map later. =)

    Wow, I'm in awe of this! And what a contrast in style to the other work you've been posting recently.

    Whilst this mapping style isn't my favourite style either, the map is very well done and it'll be great as part of an RPG. Everything is beautifully clear and it's got a lovely texture to it. Well done!!

    Not sure if I'll be able to rep, but I'll try.

    Thank you two, very much appreciated! =) The compass are a lot of fun to do, always love it. Currently I'm on three others, but I can't show them yet. :/
