This is just outstanding, Big A. Definitely in my top five fave maps of all time.
Excellent art, excellent topography, and excellent settlement naming (picking names all from one source always gives a good unity.)
I am a geology nerd.
The colours and art style is pure joy for eyes!
yeah man, I share the same feelings as the rest of this group. What a true masterpiece. The little details are amazing. I first read how you experimented to find a faster way to end up to your finished goal... then I read 50 hours - that seems more like it. You can surely tell you put the effort into this one. That cliff is amazing. And the mountains all over are as well. I love the colors you used as well, and that woodcut style border around the coast fits perfectly. Man.... I'll just stare at this one a while longer !!
I know I'm a month late to this thread, but I've just discovered it. Awesome!
Such a lovely map Ascension, and a remarkable departure from the styles you've perfected. This really showcases your artistry. I'm enchanted!

Every time I think "Ok I'm doing awesome" you come along and do something like this that puts me back in my placeSeriously, this is one of the best maps I've seen from you (and that's saying a lot). I'm running out of unique comments so I'll just finish off with *snagged for inspiration*....
