Map Experiments

[Thesslian]

This map is pretty much what the thread title says. It is a map I have been trying out different techniques I have been reading about on the forum. I'm pretty new to mapping, as my only experience with it comes from using an old version of campaign cartographer that came with the D&D Core Rules cds back in the late 90's. Just about all of my photoshop experience comes from anime cell shading.

My art methods are pretty much find something you like and see if you can do it. Starting out that usually means I will try to mash multiple styles together to disastrous effect. I am inclined to think that that is what has happened here. I saw Ramah's Aronbor Revisited map and thought that was beautiful and then I saw Pasis Bretoria map and tutorial and they ended up mixing up in this map. I'm not sure they like each other though. Any ideas on how to make them get along? About the only thing I am sure of on this map is that the ocean looks pretty cool. As for the rest it may be a prime example of epic fail.

Thoughts?
