WIP- Aethonia (Regional)

[Failtality]

Hey hey there folks- long time no post. Up to my usual same old, working on my world, Valgard, and decided I wanted to to a drawn regional map. Very inspired by those types of maps, so I thought I'd give it a try for the area known as Aethonia- the place where most of the action takes place in my story (at least the one in my head) Right now I'm still playing around with a lot of things, but I finally got something I felt I could show off. I really envy the more parchment like maps people do, but I can never seem to get the right style, so it ends up being more cartoony- which is fine. I'm pleased with what I have, and I put alot of time into this. All the elements (save for the text) are hand drawn on my tablet. Looking for any suggestions here, really. I was waxing nostalgic for my beloved JRPGs and so that was definitely a heavy influence. This is actually the sort of map I tried to draw when I first conceived Valgard, and at the time it didnt work out. Kinda blah on how the mountains turned out here, but maybe I'm staring at this too long. Are there any textures that may help it pop, or are cell colors fine? There is alot still to do- the labels are not exhaustive, but represent the major stuff. The image here is half the size of what it actually is, so if things aren't legible, I apologize. Let me know any input you guys have! This is a for fun project for now; but who knows- could turn in to something bigger.
