That is a fine looking map ^.^ Still liking that ocean effect at full-view. When in full view (since thumbnails always make maps look 'bleh') the land texture/pattern looks nice - I'm sure it'll work with other features and won't look so much like a pattern once there's mountains, forests and other stuff in there ^.^ I'd say there are a LOT of islands in the center of the map; could be a good story feature, of course. One thing I'd say about the mountain in the polar/white areas is that they feel a bit big right now, and if they're going to go to the edge of the water, maybe creating some cliffs to show a drop off or clean up the area so the mountain 'lowers down' into the water. Otherwise great progress - definitely something to keep an eye on.
