The only thing I can think of is maybe put some clipart stuff in the open spaces around the borders of the pages...big maybe, I dunno. I love the lil fiddlers and the pages are now probably the strongest part of the whole thing after starting out the weakest (IMO). Good job.

ooo wait, I do see one thing. The crabs up top look a bit funny, you might want to swap them and rotate to fit so they look right-side up.

Do u mean to put something on more on the table, or on the open space between the map and the pages?

I dont really see what your talking about. Do u mean that they look like they are lying on their backs to u? if so I dont see it

They look like they are upside down. Rotating them won't help since they will look like they are on their side. So you will have to swap them to opposite sides and then rotate them right side up.
still not seeing it, they look upright to me

The issue is that your crabs are not aligned on the same polar vectors (yes I know crabs aren't planets, but that's not what polar means here). This makes it look like one of those weird pictures where things are pointing one way in one area and one way in another area. Below is an example of how this can be fixed by aligning them all in the same direction. This issue arises from the fact that the crabs are seen at an angle (instead of from a true top down orientation). You optionally might try to find/draw some top down versions so that they can be rotated in any direction you want.

Ah I see now, I just view it a different way then u
It means Ill have to get the uncurved layer from an earlier version (probably the first), cause to get the line out of the center of the crabs I had to delete that part off of the outline and the water, so flipping it will mean I have to modify that
The bottom might look a little weird tho.. idk
Ill try it out at least

On the pages themselves...lots of dead space. I'd either make the map bigger or wider or put some stuff in those dead areas like text or boats or fish or statues or something to fill it up a bit (not overwhelming just a bit of something to fill the space). If you like it the way it is then, by all means, ignore me

I kinda like the white space myself, really helps with the composition (IMO). If you really want to fill it in maybe some very light, incomplete sketches? Not sure...
I agree with ravells, I kinda like the white space. I could add stuff in there, but then the map would look crowded, and not be as likeable. I may try some incomplete sketches like ravs suggested, or scale the map a bit to make it take up a bit more room, but idk. Ill experiment around
