    I'm not wild about the font...too many loopy bits but I don't have any better ideas either. The handmade portion is well done indeed.
    If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

    Post It looks like Alaska, without Canada!

    Didn't notice on your other version of the map, but looking at it now, the map reminds me of the shape of Alaska! Except Canada isn't there next to it.

    Nice job and the hand-drawn and hand-painted work!

    I am familiar with this font you've used, I think its called "Balthazar", while it does have a hand-scripted look, Ascension's point is true in that its difficult to read - too many loops. It might be worth visiting one of the free font sites out there to search for a "hand-drawn" looking script that is easier to read.

    My favorite free font site is:
    http://www.acidfonts.com

    If you visit that site, click on the "alphabet" listing at the top of the page, then navigate through to find a font that might work better. Be sure to click on the top navigation link, not those on the bottom of the page which are fonts you have to pay for.

    Still, nice job!
