Hey guys,

This is certainly not my first world map, it is something I like to do when DMing, but it's certainly the first time I've posted one on this forum. I've made this using Sanderan's tutorial and modified a few things to render some thing a bit differently. Hopefully you can tell me what I could do better and what I did good.

This is my first battlemap and I could really use any kind of comments for this. I've drawn every objects myself and some of them aren't rendered like I expected them to, but I didn't really know where to go to make them be better so, here they are. I'm actually quite proud of my gold pile actually looking like a pile and not just a blob of of yellow! Took me a while to do so and I'm not even sure how I did it Let me know what you guys think.

Very respectable for a first battle-map attempt. Looks like you used Torstan's battle-map technique no? If so, I'd recommend adding the highlights and shadows stroke around the cave walls mentioned in the tutorial, it will help offer more depth to the piece.
