Oh wow thanks, that's very kind. To be honest, this is kinda my current ADHD hobby so I haven't done a ton of it, im just a guy who enjoys fantasy and watched a youtube video on maps. But I've dabbled in art stuff before, so there's that. And also, I draw everything in pencil first. That last one sounds small, and I refused to for years because it felt like "extra steps," but it makes a difference. I have the feeling any polish you're seeing is the result of drafting in pencil first and patience to do the details right. Those two alone work wonders. If you can draw a simple, tiny thing the same way a bunch of times and have the patience to do so properly instead of rushing through, you can do a lot with maps already. The rest is refinement

How are you so good? Do you practice and learn a lot about drawing?

That reminds me quite a bit of Nehwon. I like it.

I see the resemblance after a quick search, might have a new fantasy series to dive into. Nice, thanks!
