[WIP] The Damourlingr Riverlands

I think you're too hard on yourself. I happen to like what you've got going here and encourage you to stay with this style. And I really like this new font choice!

Okay I was going to say that the background texture isn't working for me, but then I realized that it REALLY works on the compass. It looks like the compass is printed on the canvas. The other elements don't, and I think it might be the drop shadows. You could also solve that by changing the texture, because the terrain and forests are looking really good.

What kind of icons are you looking for? What will they represent, and what sort of style are you looking for?

Also it sounds like you might be having some of that "I hate my map" syndrome

cheers,
Meshon

This is stellar Daelin, as always. I think the only thing I would suggest is perhaps a less intense version of the texture. Meshon is right, it really works with the compass. However I think overall it looks good but could be toned down just a bit.
