[WIP] The Damourlingr Riverlands

[Daelin]

It's been a while since I last posted WIP (actually, literally years), so for my next map, I thought I'd try posting updates and see what you guys have to say about it.

This is what I've gotten done so far.
I really dig the coastline and the white flourish border, so I consider those parts done. Now I basically need to figure out how I wanna do everything else.
I think the forest looks okay, but how about you, what do you think?
I'm still debating as to whether or not to include mountains, or to just settle for the bevel/emboss hills, as they are now. What technique should I use, if mountains it is?
And well, the map is called the Damourlingr Riverlands, so obviously there will be rivers. I plan on making them the most prominent feature, but that too I'm still working on.

Also: Props to whoever can guess where in the world I got the land shape from. Let's start with no hints whatsoever.

That is a great coastline. Reminds me of Maine!

Do you think the background texture is a little too heavy?

Slightly, yes. Will be toned down.

Interesting start! I look forward to the development.
And i'd say this is some coast from scandinavia...if i had to be more precise, i'd say somewhere in norway

Iceland perhaps?

Nope...

Well, i guess we should have gone with Denmark, duh!

[Daelin]

Denmark

Not it, either.

That leaves only Finland if I read correctly . Looking good btw.
