    Lovely works, Wallin. Looking forward to your further release about those ten countries' folklores.

    Outstanding work Warlin! The altitude contours (or whatever they are called) look very good. The rivers look very legit as well. The city map is well laid out. Those maps look great too (although I noticed that some of the mottos were repeated in various places, was that intentional?). Kudos.

    Cheers,

    I simply love everything in this map!
    Thanks AzurePlanet. The 19th century and the Hellenistic period are inspiring for their scientific and philosophic progress, and the discovery feeling they have.

    Thanks Arsheesh. Yes some mottos are similar or the same and it is intentional in relation with the context. For Azaey and
    Mnesea it's the impact of religion upon the politics, for Gadire and Atlantea, it shows the proximity of the two states, one for the reign and one for the protection, for Ampherey and Evaimon, the two states have a cultural proximity, like two conservatives states with strong traditions.

    I was just looking this over and reading the thread of WIP. This is so beautiful and inspiring!

    The attention to detai; perfectly sized/spaced text, clean historical evoking graphic elements, perfectly placed key, clean border, all well thought out and in harmony. The determination on the caterpillar mountains is staggering - I looked at the thread - 2 months of detailed passionate work! I have to learn to work like that.

    The development of the flags/countries and alliances takes this map to a whole new level, as others have said - makes it a place in time. The city map is perfectly placed, scaled and drawn, with enough details to go further into the story.

    Incredible work Warlin, a work of art!
    Congrats and thanks for sharing your process. Looking forward to your next, as Max said - You've leveled up!! Awesome.

    Thanks Snodsy for all this kind words. Though there is no planification in this work. The time i began drawing caterpillar lines, i can't stop and the map was to be discovered. I have to make decisions step after step and it's this process which is really interesting in map making process . I think my stubbornness and total lack of realism helps me not to give up.

    Thanks Dan. Hope to see more of yours also.

    Here is the new update. This one takes me a lot of time labelling and bring my laptop to its limits (small device indeed ).
    Hope you enjoy it.
    Cheers.
    PS : i have a third one in my mind. But i'm not sure to draw it soon .

    Sorry can't rep you yet. This again is outstanding and the colors are really beautiful (minus the slightly dark issue noted). The color key, graphics, and text are so beautifully done.

    The tight text leading and treatment of subheads gives this map such a historical flair, these little thing are what make a map an award winner. Great job on all the text treatment.

    Couple comments.
    Your longitude lines are touching the border?
    Since you use caps on first letter of Horizontal Scale, should "D" in "Height and depth" be treated the same?
    The spacing between headers and accompanying paragraphs vary a little too much?

    Love the credit to the Hydrographer.

    Looking forward to seeing the third in the series. Then you can rest on your laurels.
