Looks like it is really getting there, hope to see this one finished soon now you are back on it.

Oh I'm only back for a little bit, the other client is already rearing their decidedly-not-ugly head . I can't shoe you any high res images of that particular commission, but I can say that it's the follow-up to my Mor Nadar map, this time focusing on the region to the north.
But while they're getting all of their labelling together, I try to squeeze in some more work on this one. I still have that other unfinished thread too by the way, Millbridge Hall. Not sure I'll ever get to finish that one, but this one here is definitely on the shortlist!

Lets not get into unfinished or abandoned maps, I have far too many of those!
Alright, update!
Added an inset on the right, comprising a title box, a minimap and a large empty space for the legend. Nothing's final yet, but I kinda like the layout. Does it fit with the rest of the map in your opinion?
Also, there's two versions since I just couldn't decide on the style of sea in the minimap. So, let me know what you think!
><
Ooh yeah, almost forgot, I also started drawing in the bits and pieces of other islands in the east. Shouldn't take too long now that I have the hang of it

i prefer the blue version.
Blue, without hesitation ! It's gorgeous !
Hmm. I don't know. The blue one is pretty, but I also kind of like how in the brown one the minimap is clearly different from the main one. Both have their merits. Gun to my head, I would say I too prefer the blue one, but it's not a very strong preference.
The non blue one is easier to read. The blue one is blue, and blue is good :p
Okay, thanks people! I was secretly kind of a blue fan too... Glad you guys agree!
I have been fiddling with this map a bit more, trying to minimize the size of that side bar. I've started experimenting with putting the labels on the map itself, instead of just putting numbers on the map and the rest in the legend. And it seems to be working!
Still gotta add a few more labels in select places, but generally speaking I'm happy with how it looks. Which means I can probably drop that legend bit in the sidebar, and I get to draw a bunch more houses in the SE corner!
