    Absolutely beautiful. Love the style, and the fields are so well done. Looked at your website too, really nice work. Keep up the inspirational pieces!

    What an uncommon and refreshing art style for your map! Do you perhaps have any further drawn of the surrounding landscape, just to provide further context to the harbour/city?

    Looking great! The map feels very medieval in both concept and execution in the sense that decorativeness and symbolism is the principal concern, not proportion and perspective, or any sense of realism. Very retro! Of course a ship moored at the docks should have its sails unfurled if it looks better that way; of course an important building far to the back should be huge.

    I don't unfortunately. But I'm starting a big project that will connect a lot of my personal work, and I really want to revisit this map and its place in the world I've created.

    Thank you! I take a lot of inspiration from medieval artwork, especially how they abstract buildings and perspective. I'm glad you think it works well in this context. Obviously throwing perspective out the window isn't an option for all of my work, but I really tried to get the *feel* of the region rather than its exact representation.

    I've been looking at a lot of medieval artwork lately and this looks like it came straight out of a very old tome. Amazing work!

    There's some kind of naïve feeling coming from your magnificent map, a childish vibe. It makes me think of some Zelda views that left me a magical sense of wonder. Congratulation on producing a real gem
