Beautiful work, Max. I love the palette. Wonderful stuff.

Thanks Ramah and Mahar! ...Ramah...Mahar...Funny
@Mahar : When I first started the map, I just had a few general setting about the whole continent and the several nations. I created a lot of labels and stuff while mapping to help me go further on the setting /history of the continent in case I'll need it. I'll be honest : I rather have pleasure to map than to worldbuild. Seems it's more easy for me on personnal projects to map and create some stuff from the map when it's done than create a world and map it.

This map is absolutely gorgeous. The sheer amount of detail is amazing.

My first thought was: Oh my, it is so light. The colours are so nice!
My second thought was: Oh my, my monitor is too small!!! What a great line-up of detail! Icons, shields, ornaments, little descriptions of locations - you go into this map and just get lost discovering one excellent graphics after another. And all that without getting too crowded. Great!

One thing I would mention as not perfect is the legibility of the font in the forest of sidjukistev. A dark outline as in the other forests would have been better to clearly distinguish i from l and v from y between all those trees. The names of the two settlements within that forest aren't clear, too. But typography in general is very solid without missing style - as always.

Another thing is the lack of consistency in line art. The Outlines of mountains are thicker as much other map features as buildings. The lines of cliffs are a bit more blurry. Streets are very slim. But this isn't really that bad because it's all for different elements. What I like is the high number of different things on the map without looking overloaded.

I like those little spots/circles near the coastline. Never seen that before. Nice!

It's huge! It's epic. It's a masterpiece again.
One more time I'm deeply impressed of your work.

Thanks very much guys, comments much appreciated!
@ Freehand : thanks about the constructive critics. You're right about Sidjukistev label. For some reason, the outer glow missed on this one. Thanks to your all seeing eye for pointing that out For the line art you're probably true, mountains were hand drawn and other elements were made in the software, that's probably the reason but I'll try too keep it on mind for next maps

This is a gourgous map, it's the type of map I want to create for my fantasy novel. Great job.

This is really just breathtaking. I recognize the brushes and stuff, but it blends together so naturally into a complete product. Like others, I really like the way you broke up the territories, and the shields are amazing.
