I really like the look of this map so far.
Special site locations marked by some graphical touches and ports would be my only suggestions.

It's certainly looking very nice. You should clean up the line art a little bit, there are tutorials from comic/manga scanning groups or related people on the net about that. I second the wraparound thing, it's what immediately comes into mind. The dotted province borders seem to have been added via CG, could you tell me how exactly you did those and what graphics program you are using?

Ich,

Thanks. I intend to clean it up a bit more. A wraparound version (if there are sea provinces) would make sense.

As for how it was done... very low-tech obviously. It's just hand drawn with the fills, textures, and such (and the province lines) done in photoshop and gimp. The lines are just a custom pencil with spacing expanded in the custom brush tips part of photoshop to make the dots. Is that what you meant?
