Hi everyone!
This is my new map for the Doramarth Setting.

Very nice map, with beautiful colors and a very good use of transparencies to keep the texture of the paper! Beautiful work!

Beautiful colours, and a lovely composition

The only thing I'm not keen on is the shadow on the labels. It makes then look a bit blurry in places where the letters are really small, but that's just something for next time

Very nice map! I love the style. I'd like to learn to draw maps in a style similar to this.

Very unique, great style! Those bright squiggly lines are so bright!

Thank you everyone!
Yes, I have to fix the blur effect the next time!
your feedback is very usefull!

HELLO!
I attached you this map made before the "Selciobosco", what do you think?

Very impressive, it's a bold and striking use of colour, very handsome! I'd echo the issue with the labels though which are a bit hard to read, particularly the city(?) name at the top.

Thanks Robulous, yes the cities are little bit difficult to read.
What can I do to fix them?

Urak Modren is the hardest to read - quickest solution would be to just move the label to underneath I think it's lighter there.

Are you using Photoshop? A stroke around the text is the classic workaround but I read somewhere recently someone mentioned something about a layer mask around the text, hopefully someone else can advise on that?
