Again a beautiful map, Pixie
I can only see one drawback, and that's the low resolution of the relief mapping image. Its a bit pixelated. is there any way it can be done at a higher resolution?
Other than that - perfect
The Coasts of Acur - The West-Central Coast
So this is the second of a series of maps I am trying to produce, all in a modern Atlas style. The first got good reviews, which catapulted me to finish this second one in record time, and some momentum is getting carried over to a third one...
As seen in the WIP thread, this area is the southern coast of the huge continent called Acur which comprises roughly 50% of the land mass of Maward. The size and shape of the continent produce a monsoon effect on the coast, but only a strip of land gets a monsoonal climate. Then comes a very large plateau and a few E-W mountain chains, which contain a more temperate climate, almost alpine in the higher ground.
This region is dominated by a few rivers, that cross fairly dry areas, and it is around those rivers that civilizations have spawned over and over. Yet, in recent times, this area has been more of a periphery of the powerful Kane and Zelandyi nations, both showing in the west and east ends of the map.
Enough chat, here's the map!
Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated!

I mean, I could remap the elevation map to a higher resolution, and restart from there - it should take a few months... (but won't, because I have a life outside the imaginary world of Maward)
Thanks for your comments, Mouse!
Looks entirely professional. Nice work.

Absolutely love it!!
Wow, very cool map! Love the atlas feel to it!
If you carry on with these I'm going to request a 'Rep Pixie' button for the forum
Another beautifully professional map that looks fab!
How many maps do you plan to create in this series?

Another good one, Pixie! Will you do a general map to locate those different regional maps of your world?
Thank you all for every comment.
I divided the coast in 8 parts, but some maps would cover areas where I haven't finished the original map, so they won't get done. I think I'll make 5, if I don't get bored by repetition before
What a cool idea. I don't know if I will be able, though, given that I'm not using the same projection every time. I think it could be an interesring challenge - thanks!
