[J.Edward]

This looks really good Josiah
Nice variation in the terrains, which look splendid.
This is a fine looking map.

Its the sort of map that I could stare at and make up stories about, so its pretty darned good already

Thanks Mouse!

The look of it is better, more textures, more gritty I'd say. If it's for a novel, the screen size will do and it perfectly shows what needs to be seen. The texture of your coasts has a really good look When the map is seen zoomed out, you got a gift for judging the good amount of detail in the format you're asked.

Thanks Thomrey!
Actually it took me a long time to choose the style and detail, so I wouldn't say I'm so good.

Thanks J.! It means a lot!


Here's an update. Fixed some of the labels, added a simple compass rose and a acorn emblem for the land.

Wow, I love the linework for the mountains, and the coniferous forest in the south looks magnificent!

Do you use some sort of pencil brush ?

[J.Edward]

I like the acorn
Only suggestion would be to maybe make the outer lines just a bit darker/stronger.
It fades a little. Not quite as strong as the coast lines, but something more in that direction.
That would make it a bit more visually strong.
All in all, it is looking great.
I really like the rough land out around Knute.
The pine forest looks nice too.

Actually, no. I use a hard round brush at 4px for basically the whole thing.

Thank you so much J!
Yes, I agree with you. I drew it on a bigger scale and made it smaller.
Glad you like the pine forests!

Excellent! The fields near Trume and the tower of silence are impressive. The crown and acorn are also nice additions.
