These are really pretty, Lyandra
Thank you Larb! It is a great exercise. For me the most important goal of this challenge was to get back to mapping and to finish drawing something for a change. I wasn't expecting to have so much fun thinking up different styles I could try out next.
Thank you KMAlexander!
Thank you Ilanthar! It means a lot.
I couldn't post over the weekend and then had trouble with my skanner, but thankfully it is working again and I was able to scan each map.
Here are maps from day 5, 6, 7 and 8.
If anyone is interested... Map from day 5 was drawn looking at maps of Finland from the 18th century. Today's map was partly inspired by a map by J. Naronowicz-Naroński from the 17th century (the trees), other elements where inspired by various other maps.

I really like the little animals with the tufted tails. Are they based on a real animal or are they fantastical?
They are fantastical creatures. I just wanted to draw a stylized, small, cute and a bit antropomorphized creature and this is the result.I think that I've taken inspiration from many real world animals: e.g. hare, jerboa...
More from the world of the mouse-like critters. Desolate lands with cities hidden below the surface.

Cute names on the latest ones!Fun fact, I actually grew up near a place called Kurkela.
These continue to be a delight, I'm always glad to see cartographers jumping in on Inktober.
