    Anyway, I'm gonna place them in the frame with a little logo (probably some sort of coloured gem) to indicate the corresponding region. Do you like the idea?

    As long as you put some of your beautiful drawings of dragons, I don’t mind if they are in vignettes or in the border ! I love the one you already draw ! It’s a beauty !

    Glad you like it! I'll probably go on 8 regions.

    I did a bit more of the lands... I'll try do go faster this weekend.
    And I couldn't resist to start testing a border style.

    Still not sure about the icons. They seem also out of scale.

    Going crazy with the border ? I love it !!!

    And the land is just fine !

    Ok, you ARE crazy.... what a tremendous work on the border ! I’ll never achieve something half as good as this... I definitely will need advices for the border of your map.

    And the dragons are just top notch !

    For the symbols, I don’t think there will be a matter of scale : they are symbols, not drawings of actual cities, so I would not draw them smaller than the ones already made. They could even be larger ! Because smaller would mean we would’nt see the details, and that would be too bad, since the details are connected with the dragons things (like the tower... I love the tower) So at your place, I wouldn’t worry too much about scale for the symbols.

    Arr... I tried smaller icons before reading your post.

    So I keep the big ones or the new ones?

    Bigger dragon !! Yes !!! you draw them so well, it would be a shame to have only little ones...

    And for the city symbols, I prefer the large ones but I relay on your opinion to know what's best for the map. (regarding the way you will draw the rest of the map)

    The whole project is looking very good ! Thanks a lot ! I'm a happy patreon !!!

    I have diverse ideas about dragons on the frame... for later. I'm focusing on the map.
    And big icons it is!

    About elements of the frame : do you want the title on the top or the bottom?
    Key will probably be in the bottom left.

    Yes, big symbols are great !
    As a traditional cartographer, I do like the title on the top of the map, but I'm open to new and crazy ideas... so, if any mad thoughts pop up in your mind, fellow your instinct !

    The whole project grows more beautiful by the minutes ! I know that not so long ahead, I'll find myself checking for updates every hours, waiting to see this marvelous map growing !
    Thanks so much for your work !

    Since I've space under the map, I'll probably place something also here...
    But I followed you instinct and couldn't resist to show you the first steps of the title. I'm just naming it Valdamar because I'll probably do an english & a french version so...
    And since I'm going crazy on this, I'll probably do the other draconic thing I had in mind...
