    Dude, this is totally insane. But in a very cool way, of course
    The style is really unique. And amount of detail is just scary...

    Is there a conlang to match the conscript, by any chance?

    Nah, I always get bored with conlangs, not enough instant gratification. The conscript was made for a certain phonology, though (and thus it sets up constraints on what can written in it), so you could see this map as having all names written in Über-Foreignese, a mixture of how English transcripted foreign words during the imperialist era and Japanese Engrish kana-spelling

    Amazing work. I second Turgenev's remarks - it's like some ancient vellum scroll that was written centuries ago. It's been very interesting to watch how you have developed this.
    If there's one thing on it I'm not too fond of it's some of the extra drawings you placed on like the shepherd which looks too cartoony to me, and the smith and the tree which, although I like, made that area seemed cluttered and I preferred the previous version.

    But still, it's amazing work.

    I know people don't do these things for the rep but I look at your current 45 score and I have to wonder why it is so low. Compared to some others who have produced much less original, detailed, artistic and groundbreaking work you are not getting the rep you deserve.

    For what it's worth, you can have my +1 rep point.

    I repped this in the WIP thread several versions ago, and I've been looking for other folks to rep so I can hit this again, but I still need to spread it more around first.

    Anyway, I think this is really great looking.
    I think, therefore I am a nerd.

    I've already praised this work in its WIP thread, and repped there too... So I will not repeat myself, no way.


    Oh my, this is great!!! Awesome! Ingenious! I'm speechless...
