Yera_Novel Map

[XCali]

Hi everyone,

I've been putting this one off for a while now, but the publishing date is hurtling along at a speed. So, here I am... needing help with the first map of my novel.

After my huge breakthroughs with my Nessa'Mor map, I became certain I need to revisit the map I planned to add to my novel.
That is the story though, a bit more than a year ago I couldn't draw, I couldn't create maps. But then I landed on Inkarnate and I finally made a few maps for my novel and it was really cool. But then I realized I can't publish my novel with Inkarnate maps. So, thus started the journey where I learned to draw from scratch and create stuff with GIMP, so that I can use my own assets to create a map. And a year and a few months later. Here we are.

In GIMP I managed to recreate my Yera map. But, my breakthroughs with Nessa'Mor made me think I need to revisit it. But, I only have days... and so I don't know what I should do. Looking at the map now, I can see hundreds of things I would do differently if I were to do it from scratch, I was heavily expirementing when I started this map. But, now I can only tweak with the little time I have... so I need help, feedback really.

After it is published I might recreate the whole thing. But for now, this is what I have to work with.

The question is, what tweaking can I do to make this better. Remember, I probably only have days to finish this map.

Thanks in advance,
Omri
