They truly are very attractive maps TableKnight! That first one reminded me strongly of JRR Tolkein's Middle Earth maps on the endpapers of the hardback Lord of the Rings books I borrowed from the library as a child. :)
TableKnight:
Thank you very much Macruran and Graham! Really happy that you like the maps ;D

I use Inkscape for mapmaking, and I have a drawing tablet as well which I used to draw the coasts and rivers (although with the larger Ombaroth map I did everything with a mouse!). I drew mountains and trees to then copy across the entire map (hopefully) in an organic way, that part did take a while though 8}

I too was (and still am!) utterly enthralled by the Tolkien's maps, and I have very fond memories of being inspired by them to draw many maps as a kid! Happy to hear that the first one echoed a bit of LotR's map style ;D
