Okay, I have re-tried to do this map and finish it off but it seems I can't get the marsh/swamp quite right.
I'll post up some examples of what I have done soon but I am stuck.
Any ideas?
This is still just gorgeous. I used to draw my maps by hand, but nothing I ever did even comes close to what you've accomplished here so far. I am most definitely looking forward to seeing more. And man, I just gotta give you some rep for this once I've spread some around.
Great Work!

I think at that scale its going to come down to the colour and texture to represent it so its hard to suggest at the pencil stages.
I'm no master of this iso hand-drawn work but the only idea that I have is make a palm tree brush without the trunk and just use the leaves repeatedly to give something slightly spikey yet curvey. This is a 2 minute demonstration, not perfect but sort of the idea I was aiming for...maybe it can give you an idea.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

Darran, that map is too amazing for words.
You've fixed up the largest river, but the others are still too straight, unless I'm confusing rivers with roads, in which case you should probably find some way to differentiate the two.
Anyway, REP!
