Absolutely beautiful, and I love the colour palette too. I'm saving this map to my inspiration folder for the colour palette.
cheers

The map is really looking better and better. The palette is gorgeous and I really like the feeling of the city icons. The only thing I would suggest is maybe some texture to the glacier on Marjura. At the moment it looks a bit flat. Keep up the good work :-)

All I can say is pretty sweet looking.

Really nice. My one critique - issue I noticed - is that the shadow of the pack-ice (that is ice right?) makes it look as if it is floating in the air slightly. Really like your overall style.

Hey again!
Told earlier that I was working on a bigger map. Trakorien is a part of the continent Argond. (Trakorien is the four islands in the west).
The maps are clean with no icons, names or no borders. Just fancy geography
Argond - Full Size
Trakorien - Full Size
VERY nice Obbehobbe! Is everything hand drawn by you? I see the mountains at least were shaded and colored, so I would guess yes... I am a "bit" turned off by the yellowish swamp color, but even still it's not that big a deal to me. Also, do you plan to add a bit of color to the forests(I think that would be nice.. just a small bit of contrast)? What about the deserts? Do you have any plans to add some type of texture to represent dunes?
My one critique/suggestion would be to go back to the hills and add a bit of shading the them also so as to merge with the mountains better(though technically, I guess there might be some suggestions planted in the previous paragraph too).
Looking forward to seeing more!

This was a while ago.The maps are completed and have been printed.
This is the big continent called Argond. Original is in A1
And this is the detailed map of Trakorien. The original is in A1 format.
And this is the company "Fria Ligan" in Sweden, making the maps ready for delivery.
Wow, i love the Argond map. Very nice!
Is this part of the map of the Altor worldmap? I really wish that i'd be able to read swedish!
