    Nice, clean map. shows what a "continental style" or large scale map would.

    I really enjoy looking at the maps like this, ones made by others where the skills and craft shown so well here at CG are used. If anything it makes me realise that I have more to learn, so much more, though when i go to other sites and see other peoples efforts, I realise mine ain't that bad. But I digress, let's return to your map.

    Purely from the style of the lettering and the names, it is evocative of Japan. Is it the same size as the land of the rising sun, or is it bigger or smaller, an idea of scale would be useful for the viewer. I'd also like to see more than just the one settlement marked.

    Unlike me, you have resisted the urge to over-complicate things or add too much detail. Getting the right balance between not enough and too much information, is difficult, no - it is an art, and something you do better than I have so far.

    Keep it up.

    Thanks for the comment!

    The continent shown in close-up shall be reminiscent of japan, as I try to partly emulate their culture on this continent (which my players will NOT start upon). As for scale... I don`t have a clue myself right now

    The other continent will be more european from a style-PoV.
    Also the details are not finished... I still need to add major towns and woodlands (which I still think about how to do best).


    EDIT:
    Anyone got a good idea for the measurements?

    Hm, looks good. Quite "comic" in style, but I like it.

    Tho' I think I found some severe issues concerning the majority of the prographers favourite pet peeve ;-)
