    Small detail inset would probably be a good idea, we will see!

    I'll gladly take any tips regarding labeling and that stuff as this is the first time I have to do so much of it! Hard work.
    I think I'm liking the coloring so far, it's fairly subtle but noticeable.

    Man, you're fast indeed! Looking fantastic. And i agree on the subtle coloring, very nice! If you're looking for tips on labeling, Eduard Imhof's "Positioning Names on Maps" is THE reference in my view. It looks as if you're already doing it the "right" way (ofc placing names is clearly more a question of good readability and aesthetics rather than "realism" with placing rivers, so it's hard for me to say it's right or wrong)!

    This is looking super nice!!!, the land, forest and mountains are really well done, only comment, not crazy about the pattern in the sea, a little too strong, works fine on land where it's somewhat covered by other elements, not a big deal, just a comment. I'll be repping this one.

    Great work Dysterkvist! A great map overall. I really like the town/city icons, they are charming.

    The only thing I would change is the frame and compass rose. With the map you managed to achieve a sort of traditional feel, but the frame and rose both feel very basic and “digital”, if you know what I mean.

    But nevertheless great work!

    Cheers,
