    I really like the (almost) medieval look, it's really great!

    The only thing it kinda looks out of place, imho, are the mountains: they do look good, but far too accurate and detailed for the rest of the setting. Maybe making them simpler, more in the style of a medieval drawing, will better blend the overall map!

    That's certainly a very pretty style. I really like it...

    Oh Sapiento! Too soon after the last one. Can't rep you yet!

    The only thing that troubles me just a very tiny bit is the different perspective on the symbols/icons. Some are ISO, some are side view, and others are almost seen from the bottom of a hill. With your skills I'd say that was intentional, and with my little quirks I'd also say that I just have a sort of obsessive thing about wanting them all to be the same perspective

    lovely color and I love those illustrations - I must agree with Mouse on the perspective part - but they are damn nice, white and red and wonderfully clear. .. oh and like that little monk

    There's a beautiful feel to this map that calls you to look into its details. And it has lovely details. And it's well worthy of rep, which I just gave!

    Still, there's a few things that I think you could look at for further improvement (I know this isn't a WIP, but indulge me): the compass and scale are a misfit in my opinion, this medieval-feel map would do better without them things. The other thing is the mountains, it seems like the master cartographer drew the cities and illustrations, then the five mountains between Modredej and Talipta, then passed the map on to his less able apprentice to finish off. There's a drop in quality and the fact that the mountains aren't colored like the rest of the illustrations makes it stand out even more.

    Apologies for being picky. I hope pickiness is appreciated

    There's a dodgy character hanging about between Humesta and Komedza.

    I like the style of this, it's almost like it's been found in a monastery. Except there aren't any mead stains on it

    Thank you, guys!
    I'll keep your suggestions in mind for the next map in this style.
    The shift in perspective on the icons was intentional, I've seen this on many medieval drawings.

    Gives me a "Witcher" vibe. Very nice.
