La Española (Hispaniola) - Historical map

[Sergy096]

Here's my fourth map. I wanted to paint an island and I wanted to change continents. I had to do a little bit of research to do a historical map (although it's probably inaccurate) as there's not much information about the border at this time.

I think I achieved most of the goals I set last time:

• The style of the labels is way better, consistent and fitting the general feeling of the map.
• Added a simple border
• Included some extra decorations with the coats of arms and the description of the map

Where do I want to focus in my next map?

• I want to add some ship or sea creatures
• Try adding parallels and meridians as opposed to the portolan style here.
• Have a thicker border
• Improve the rivers look

I've already pick the location, this time it will be Asia.

I really enjoy this map, All the trees, mountains and coast convey a sense of another place. I'm looking forward to your next work.
