    Thanks Ilanthar. I wasn't sure it would not be to much.
    Another update with the cities and the labellings not finished. I try isometric ones and red labels with outer glow.
    Any suggestion welcome.

    Wow, this is really pretty! Perspective maps, as in things-get-smaller-further-away, are uncommon, very cool The red labels are very successful imo, though something's buggin me about the cities. I think it is that the lines are much thinner than your other linework, making them look like they are on top of the map rather than in it.

    Thanks Lingon. I agree for the cities. I drew them at full size and reduced before puting them on the map. I have to drop shadows on the map to make them more part of the map. For the size of the lines, i fear i can't do anything now .

    Ah, been there done that! Its a good lesson to learn I think. When drawing at 4x the intended size, one must make 4x as wide lines, etc. One advantage of doing it digitally is that you can draw without outlines and add them as a layer style, so the lines will have the same width no matter how you resize the icon. Shadows sounds like a good idea too!

    Like the red label,but the large red text seems a little to dominate, maybe slightly smaller? City label looks good. Agree shadows on the land will help integrate the icons onto the map, lovely map. Your line work is really nice.

    Looks fantastic! It has a solid angled perspective and great colours.

    Thanks Lingon for the advice, each time i draw at full size to reduce afterall i forget to enhance sufficiently my linedraws...
    Thanks Snodsy, i have to study the means of labelling a map. I don't know how to adapt the size of the letters in regard with the maps items (slighty smaller then the mountains height ?).
    Thanks Joshia, the perspective make me redo the map two times and the colors use the same palette than my Lemuria map.
    Another update with all the labellings (without the titre and the Keys) and the city icons (with the shadows).
    To be done :
    Small inserts of the aqueduc, the dam and the channels
    Border and title,
    Key.

    Ok, last update before the finish line.
    Inserts and frame are done, last labellings.
    I do not know how and where to insert the title... Remains to build the compass and place it.
    I'm pleased to finish it, it takes me a too long time.
    Any feedback is welcome before the lasts works.

    And here's the aqueduct !

    Concerning the title, it depends of its length or size... Maybe on the top? Else, you'd probably have to make your canvas bigger and I'd suggest near the key or under the illustrations.
