Excellent work Coyotemax, I love the handdrawn-look style.
This map was done as a commission for the upcoming Protector flash game, now moving into it's 4th version! The final game has been published, and is at http://www.kongregate.com/games/undefined/protector-iv (among other locations, this one is the primary site).
The flag/quest markers have been randomly placed for display purposes. I've also included the side menu bar to show how the full screen will appear when focused on the map page (though the menu is in a beta stage right now and subject to change). This is the first map I've done in this particular style, and I must say it was quite enjoyable to make!
Thanks to Torstan, Yandor, Ascension, Ramah and rpgmapmaker for constructive comments, and especially to Ramah for use of the location icons. And thanks to the guild as a whole for the support, help, comments and resources that led up to this point in my artistic career!

High-quality work, bro.

This looks really great CM! I'll have to check the game out just so I can see what they do with it. It has to be exciting to have your map splashed on monitors all over the place.

Gorgeous map, lovely style. The 'E' on entourage looks a tad light/worn out, but that might just be my screen ^.^ Brilliant map; I'll have to look at that game.

Oh, the buttons on the side are changing Ths side menu was included in it's current state to give some context to the map.
On that note, the developer has asked if I would be interested in developing additional graphics for the game, so double yay! Once everything is finalized, I'll re-upload a version that includes the finished menu bar as well
