Hey there! So after going through several tutorials and finally getting the hang of Layers (and layers, and more layers), I finally have a first draft for my world!

A Ballad of Bones and Scales.compressed.pdf

I made the map size pretty big (3000x2000), and had to compress the image in order to attach it, so it's slightly nicer quality in the version I'm looking at.

I've got one comment, two questions, and then I'd love billions of suggestions/criticisms.

Comment: You see the chain of islands that are totally not the remains of some primordial world-devouring monster? They all have a rather uniformed length, and each island would take a group of adventurers roughly four days to cross. There's some scale for ya.

Question 1: I still need to add swamps, but am not sure what colors would work best for making swamps using the Gradiant Map feature. What would you suggest?

Question 2: With a map like this, what would be the best way to designate towns? Should I just draw some rough town/city-like areas? Or just put a little "Town" logo wherever appropriate?

Anything else I can do to improve this map, just let me know!
