    Default From the Sea to the Sky (Star Map)

    This will be my second map in this style, I have been working on it for a while. I tried to do more of a ancient astrology feeling to this one, it's also a map of both the south and north hemispheres.

    There is a lot of symbology in this map, Moon and Sun, Sky and Sea, Roses and Swords, Male and female, there is also a lot of tie ins with the number eight.

    Hope you guys like it! Let me know if there are any typos or things I could just improve upon.

    Looks good to me! Very nice drawings and silhouettes (and your stars are still very cool!). I just noted one typo : the "g" is missing in Spring.

    Thanks for pointing that out, I had seen something else that I needed to fix so I did that and added the g in spring.

    Hmm, also, the titles of the two upper corner maps (moon cycles and the other one) are very difficult to read.

    I was trying to give it a different style but I can see how having those labels upside down would make them hard to read.

    Is this better or should I also change the font to be more readable?

    The font is OK for me, and now I'm reading "planetary map" quite easily .

    Ilanthar, thank you for your input!

    I am glad you like it, CaptionJH, I like doing things outside the box!

    I'm curious...what would the "Sun's cycles" be?

    The sun cycles are the days of the month.
