First map since...

[Zen Clark]

Hello, I was wondering if I could get some feed back on a map I made a little while ago.
It is the first map I have made since I was round eight, which does not really count though.
The map was made with Gimp.
I am not going for any general theme, so I just need some basic feedback.

Welcome to the Guild, Zen Clark.

I'm not a gimp user, but it looks a little pixellated. Otherwise, it's too early to say. It may be helpful if you could explain what the different coloured areas are supposed to represent (borders? Desert? Forest?) and the scale you're working to.

You may want to check out Jurgen Hubert's excellent tutorials (in the tutorial section) on using Gimp for mapping for some ideas.

As Ravs has said, welcome to the community Zen Clark. How did you hear about us? I'm always interested to find out where folks are coming from.

I agree with Ravs about the map. We really need some more info before we can give constructive feedback.

Sorry for the lack of info.
Green = Plains;
Tan = Hilly Mountains;
Grayish = City_Scape;
Blue = WaterAndRivers;
brown = DockConnectionPoints;
OneInch = 5miles;

Here is a more up to date version I made using some stuff from the tutorial:

I'm watching, but keep going. May I suggest slightly more muted colours though, as in your first map - unless you're going for a very cartoony feel.
