That's such a beautiful style. The text looks amazing. I'm surprised that the mix of satellite & hand-drawn map elements so so good, but it really gives the map something extra above everything else.
I don't really like the mountains, though - while everything else looks crisp, they are fuzzy and hard to discern.
One of those Alternate Earth History people.
Mountains always split opinion it seems. I actually really like the mountains on this one. Your maps have been drifting towards the heavily filtered, even impressionistic style of late, sometimes a little too much so for my taste, but this one walks the line with confidence.
As I said in the WIP, I love the little icons and they really seem to gel with the watercolour filtering.
The colour of the border, the sea, the rhumb lines... all suggest to me some influence from Tear, which is always a good thing in my opinion.
If I have to dig down and find one nitpick then I guess it would be that some of the country labels have parts of their lettering missing which makes them somewhat hard to read, but I suspect this is intentional.
Anyhoos, wonderful map, Ascension.
Edit: I'd rep you but I need to share it around some first.
Royal: I'm very sorry for your loss, your mother was a terribly attractive woman.
