The contintents of Weslubon, Kaidria and Cidrica

[TigerKarl]

Hello fellow mapmakers,
for the first time i feel comfortable enough with a map of mine to share it here.

I'm fairly new to the process of mapmaking and this was basically a practice map that i started to use for a D&D campaign i am running for 4 friends. So the purpose of this map is to give the players a sense for the geography of their world, while being centered around a specific political area called "Bund der freien Handelsstädte" which translates to "Alliance of Free Trading Cities"

The city pictures at the top and bottom are no creations of my own, i found them online, mostly on DeviantArt.
Likewise i cannot take credit for the compass rose ( http://fantasy-worlds.weebly.com/ - thanks a lot!) and the lowest background texture.
Everything else i painted with a wacom tablet and my mouse in Photoshop.

I know that i have a long way to go stylisticaly to be on the level of the works here at the cartographers guild. I would ask for your honest criticism as well as comments about parts you like.

Thanks in advance and thanks for all the great examples and tutorials on this website.
