Looks nice. As for size you can upload around 4000 x 4000 OR under 4.7 megabytes.
This is what I have so far of a new map I started working on a little while ago.
Much thanks to this tutorial http://www.cartographersguild.com/sh...using-the-Gimp for the old paper texture.
The black dots are just placeholders for where I think would be good locations for cities/castles or what not. What do you think?
EDIT: Oh, and the attachement is scaled down to 50% of it's original size BTW.

If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

Oooo, thats a real nice start, i think this site can handle this map at full size easily so don't be afraid to post it, unless it's over 4.7 megabytes.

People come and people go. I walk amongst them, I see their faces; but none see mine. I pass them in the streets but nary a glance is spared my way, for what interest would they have in a Wanderer? Not of this world... Forever Alone... Forever Wandering... LoneWandererD...

Made some progress on forests and main roads.
Apparently photobucket likes to shrink the image on it's own

I can't make out too much detail at this size, but from what I can see, it looks excellent. The color choice is awesome.
Not quite sure what you mean about photobucket shrinking the image - I know they have a tendency to do that if you exceed their file size limit, but can't you just upload the original size directly from your computer to this site without going through photobucket?
I was unable to upload directly from my pc for some reason, but I tried it in a different browser just now and it worked. I'm going to edit my previous post with the full size.
Great looking mountains.
As mentioned previously, excellent colour scheme! It has a very warm feel. What about the mountains? Did you make them? Mouse/tablet? Very nice. And the trees also. It's a sweet map! With some careful choice of fonts (I am always doing it wrong!) it should be flying to the top!
Thanks for the comment . Yes I made the mountains; first with graphite along with the coast lines, and then with a mouse in Photoshop for the shading. I am kind of nervous about the fonts. It will be difficult to position them in the best way.
