February 2016 Challenge: The Elder Isles (Lyonesse trilogy)

Beautiful work, Max. The way you've done the forest in this one is a winner.

And for all those interested in the books - RECOMMENDED WHOLEHEARTEDLY. Jack Vance was one of the greatest fantasists of all time.

Looks fantastic, Max. If you don't mind me asking, what font or font family did you use?

Thank you diamond and Chickpea.
@Chickpea : fonts used are from the Im Fell family.

Great map, amazing amount of quality work in such a short time.

Two comments, one is purely preference, and the other is an extremely small nitpick;
1) To me, all of the land (grass?) fill is distracting, it takes awhile for me to visually separate the plains from the water and mountains.
2) the font used with the label "CANTABRIAN GULF" I like except that the capital A's are shorter (or appear shorter because of the arc) than the neighboring characters. Some fonts do this intentionally, to me it is distracting.

Again, great work and glad to see your maps any day.

What to say on this work ? I am sorry but it's difficult to find something new to comment your map. They are so professionnal and well executed. I'll be looking closely at your labellings .

Excellent map Max, I really like the illustrations in the border.

Thank you guys!
@LordAntralis. To your comments:
1. This is probably the limit of going with black and white linework only.
2. I agree, hopefully I'll have time to fix it before challenge ends.
