Wow, the closer you look, the more detail reveals itself lol.

Stunning job, looks like a huge amount of work.

Thanks TtD It was a lot.

Oh man, that is just a crazy amount of detail! What a beautiful map. I especially like how you did all of the hedgerows in Catchoeira. The deserts and mountain formations are really impressive as well. So much awesome rolled up into one map!

Thanks Arsheesh
I like the result with the hedges, but man were they a lot more work than planned.

Uhhhh..... (Just stares and sort of has a Beavis and Butthead moment). Uhhh....

Seriously though, just wow. Don't recall ever seeing you do that style of relief shading before. Of course, you have so many pieces floating around here that I could oh so easily have missed one (eh, probably several) done in a similar fashion.

I have done a few that were top down relief shading. The main one was my guildworld country of Nahadua, but the lands of Qaliste was another, sort of. Then I have one I need to post some time. I actually have a few I haven't posted.

I think the weird scaling is pretty interesting, but i did definitely not take it as a world map. I took it as a large island based on the fact you can see all the buildings in the cities and towns (which of course doesn't really jive with the mountain sizes).

In any case it's a very interesting map.

Yeah, it bothered me as well, but I just couldn't think of any other way to bring the scale differences together.
The comm really asked for incongruent things.

For what it's worth, in response to the idea that some features are of distorted scale, I think you threaded the needle nicely. There are a few things that are obviously outsized, but like, that's not unheard of on maps this size and none of them are distracting. As Simkin said, astonishing as always.

Thanks GWN
It was achallenge, and I need to get better at dealing with these size inconsistencies, because numerous clients have asked for things like that before.

Regardless of wonky scale, it's truly inspiring. So many cool points of interest to ruminate on, I think you rather hit the nail on the head, John.

Thanks Adfor
I'm glad it is working for people.
I really wasn't sure if it would.
