This is my first commission! It is probably complete, the only thing that still will probably be changed is the size of the text, I think it is too small because it is in the book.

I've really enjoyed doing this and I've learned a lot from it, like use bigger files, and don't use such small files, and make bigger mountains, and don't make such small mountains . The file size is the thing I regret most about it, I really should learn to make them a bigger size, I'm usually working at 200 or 300%.

Lovely work! Parts of it look like they could have been water-colored.

Thanks Arsheesh!!

Efficient and well done map! The different elements are very well drawn.
My two nitpicks would be about the texture(?) of the forest that I would tone down just a bit and the color of the crops, a bit too flashy to my taste.

Thank you Ilanthar!
What do you mean by the forest texture? I agree about the farmlands, but the client said it was hard for him to see it before, so I made it a bit more noticeable.

Great job, turned out excellent!

Thanks Lingon.

Some nice work there Josiah. The colours work really well and I like the way you've faded in the edges. Keep up the good work!

[Warlin]

Nice work. Beautifull colors.

Looking at it again, I got it wrong. You didn't used a texture, it's the paper background and the way it blend with the forest layers. It seems a bit digital... but not at all with the rest of the map... I fear I'm not helping and I'm not very clear. Never mind, it's an excellent map!
