Looks really good (very painterly), though it could do with some label's and a compass rose and such. Good to see you back as well. I hope you will continue to do more work in Cartography in the near future.

Hey everybody, it's been over a year since I last did some cartography and it felt great to get back into it. I tried out a new style compared to my older work, it's fairly rough cause I didn't want this to be a time sink but I'm happy with the final result.
I'm up for the harshest of critic to improve this one, enjoy!

I really like the style of this map. Even though I'm fairly new here, I'd say that this map would benefit most from very scarce map-type details, like labels and compass roses, but that opinion might be a minority. Nice job.
That is a beautiful map! It looks like a painting in its own right (a land seen from above, not necessarily a map...). I do not know how it would look like with typical map elements like labels added. I am curious how you would incorporate them into this wonderful piece however.![]()
Really beautiful!

Besides the lacking labels a very good map.
Thanks for the comments guys! This was sort of a study in the painterly style but now I'm convinced to actually add some labels and a good ol' fashion compass rose. Stay tuned for an update!

I'd put that in frames and hang it on my wall
Awesome work and well worth repping!
