There comes a time when we want to say "beautiful map, as usual", and that's when you surpass yourself and surprise us with something splendid, poetic, fantastic or with incredible details... like here...
Your mind is a limitless territory where your imagination flies over incredible distances, but above all you have this precious talent, to put all this on paper and offer it to us!
You are so lucky... and so are we !

It looks so good, Beee

B. I am so impatient I'll wait for the final map as a kid waiting for Santa.

This is so beautiful! You have such elegance to your illustrations it blows me away.

Oh, thanks so much ! Challenges are always the best way for me to push my limits and explore where I really want to go, and I'm so glad it's appreciated that much ^_^

As many of us, I'm rarely proud of myself or confident about my work, and always see me as a perpetual beginner. I just... you know... doing my best. So just... just... thank you so much, Jo. This is probably the most amazing comment I ever read about my work, and I'm ridiculously proud of it

It looks so good, Beee

Thanks so much, J. !

The coloring looks great!

Glad you love it ! ^^

Haha, thanks Ren ! 'should be maybe later today or maybe tomorrow, depending on Karl's last feedbacks

[MistyBeee]

Here we are !
With agreement provided by Karl/Tainotim, I think I'm done with my entry : last colors, last shading, last highlights, last ajustments, last "What if...", etc.
I tend to say that after every map I finish for a challenge, but I really feel this one will remain my favorite for a long time. Hope you'll love it too, and once again, my biggest, biggest thanks to Tainotim who proposed such an amazing commission

### Winner ###



PS : Finally one where I'm not worry about spelling mistakes !

Your borders are making me cry. Like in such a good way. This is a beautiful piece of work all round.

[J.Edward]

So gorgeous. All the little people and creatures just add so much to an already wonderful piece.
