    Default The Yawning Isles

    Whilst I'm at it, I also forgot to post the my entry to the previous double month challenge into the Finished Map section.

    I was a little late to starting this one, but was happy with where it ended up, even if I was a little tired by the end.

    Did you just change your name or am I just really confused and imagining things?

    That is a splendid map, Greg!

    Oh yes!

    I call you Greg anyway because that's the name on your maps, so I hadn't noticed, but you used to be GLS!

    (0/10 for observation here! LOL!)

    Its a really well drawn map - very clean and precise, and all the more surprising since you didn't really start it till the last few days, if I remember correctly

    Haha, yep, I used to be GLS, but regretted choosing that name from pretty much the start, so thought since a lot know me by Greg already, it may as well be my username.

    Also, thanks for the nice comments!

    Same for this one, I don't know if I had already commented on this, but I love the look of it. It looks very elegant and simple, with some very interesting features. I love the cartouche for the title and town map.

    Thanks, Dan! The cartouche came out pretty well in the end and I think this is about the only time I've ever actually ended up not overcomplicating everything in a map!

    Clean, elegant and wit great landshapes. It kinda reminds me of a Diamond's map in some way. Great job, Greg!

    I totally agree with Ilanthar. It's clear and elegant. An excellent map!

    I love this style of antique map, and this one's gorgeous. I think if I had to nitpick, I'd say the large labels could perhaps do with a teeny bit more contrast to boost them off the page, but I can also see how that might overwhelm the smaller labels. So, em, as you were...!

    Love, love, love the cartouche!

    Thanks, everyone!

    @ChickPea, yeah I know what you mean about the labels!
