First Map - Islands of Evenom
I have been reading your posts and enjoying all your wonderful maps for a long, long time. I started toying with the concept of map-making and created my own. I used Adobe Photoshop and paintbrush.
I hope I put this in the right spot. Forgive me in advance if I posted it wrong.

Looks good, man. Everything seems to be in order, both mapwise and postwise. I certainly hope you do some more, this is nice.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

Have some rep for posting your first map!
I like it. Good colors and you used some nice mountain and tree symbols. The mountain ranges look very believable.
No places of interest though? No cities? The map looks a bit empty because of that.
Check out my City Designer 3 tutorials. See my fantasy (city) maps in this thread.

Looks rather nice - to be honest, it looked like it was done in Campaign Cartographer or something similar.. you seem to have that style mastered in photoshop

First off... Welcome Aboard!
It's a nice map. Had you not said you did it in PS & Paintbrush I would have thought Campaign Cartographer as well. Looking forward to seeing more from you.

Thank you for the warm welcome and the compliments on my map.
Good job for your first map.
If I were you, I would expand upon it, adding cities, towns, locations, etc.
