Thank you so much, everyone! Yes, the map is completely hand drawn except for the colors. Those were done in photoshop. I'm hoping to try to do one with watercolor someday, but for now digital color is quicker and cleaner.

I'd like to know more about the floating islands myself. Right now all I know for sure is that they are the LAST place I'd want to be, what with all those insanely long rope bridges. Although to see stars above and below would be neat.

The waves on the sea were inspired by some of the maps in Ortelius' atlas. I'm still working on making mine look like them. I'm also a huge fan of ornamentation and celtic knotwork, so I like to use those features on my maps.
