    I'm convinced you are not a human, Ascension, but instead an efficient map-making robot.

    I think I want to practice some heavy detail illustrated style so these are my mountains so far.

    The #25 map is great As for the mountains in the post below they look nice, though the main linework mountains might be a bit too heavy on several ones.

    Agreed on the heaviness, especially on the light-ward side. I'm hoping that by the end that the heaviness becomes a positive thing if I can make this busy enough.

    Not a lot of work accomplished unless you count 2 days of sorting through fonts to find stuff mid-18th century, then cutting that down to the final. Ugh. I sometimes wish that there were only like 2 fonts ever.

    Wow, some really nice work with the terrains. I love the tropical swamp and the croplands!

    What are the taller thingys in the farm area? If they are meant to be trees or buildings, they are pretty large relative to the mountains.

    I'm not sure as to what they're really called but they're found in southeast Asia. Just these tall pillars of rock with some vegetation here and there. I have 3 possible names - karst, polje, and mogotes.
