    It's also nice to see the surroundings of Grimmsmouth.
    Hey Neyasha thanks so much. I'm glad you like it Your advice and encouragement for this project is really useful to me. I'm already planning my next map!

    I think it's a great piece of art.
    Thanks so much Straf!

    Poor Codpiece! His great-grandfather was an Ac-Tor and quite well known for his large parts so he took his stage name as the family name. A decision that sadly affected all future Codpieces

    Lovely map. Excellent labeling and everything is quite unified in style. Splendid job.

    Have to concur with others, the grid is a bit overpowering. Toning it down (and maybe eliminating it entirely over the land areas) would definitely let the eye be drawn to other (perhaps more important) features. Other than that, I like this. Well done sir.

    Lovely map, and the place names are great. Some of the labels overlap (for example, around Greater Northleach). Not sure if that could be avoided with a little tweaking?

    I love the colour palette.

    Thanks for the advice Wolfe. I've toned the grid down a bit now. I tried removing it completely from the land but it made it difficult to locate places using the coordinates. So I've toned it down a little bit extra overland. Your help is much appreciated

    Thanks so much CP. I've tidied up the labels now (rivers aside) and hopefully it;s a little easier to read everything now. Thanks again for commenting

    Don't know what others will say, but I think you are spot on with that grid now. It's visible and usable but not distracting, and let's all those goodies stand out. Again, well done sir.
