Getting a real Moebius-meets-Giger vibe. Great look.

Thanks a lot! That was my intention, at least with Giger. But now that you mention Moebius, I think that's indeed a good comparison.
I have to be careful with colouring, however. As this shall be a 16th century analogue map, I have to constrain myself and should avoid too strong colours.

I like it but I'm wondering if the 17th century map style requested can be achieved only with the colors work.

It's creepy and awesome. That border is true beauty.

Thank you.
I think colours and labels should do it.
The border doesn't show native Indios or Africans and trade ports like on real old maps, but scenes the people of this world know. And I imagine that with a partially functioning starship above them the inhabitants have a good idea how their surrounding landscape looks like.

It's creepy and awesome. That border is true beauty.

Thank you!

Outline work is done, on to colouring.

Looks great Sapiento! This really is something ells (in a good way ).

Personally I'm like "that city looks so awesome, I wish there weren't a big ship in the way", however, that would kind of ruin the point I guess

Cheers,

I'm loving this one Sap. This is a really interesting one. Can't wait to see this finished.

[Ilanthar]

Ooh, creepy! Truly impressive. My only critic would be that the ship seems to float a bit over the rest, but I guess this (minor) feeling is gonna disappear with the shadings.

[Sapiento]

Thank you, guys!

@Ilanthar: From the description: 'The ship itself is hovering with its antigrav field over the settlement,...'. It is indeed floating over the city.
