A bit of a stylistic change-up on the forests, and I'm calling this done,

Nice map, RobA. The area in the south is superb. I have to say I don't like your new forests though. I prefer the original style as they fit the rest of the map more. The rest of the map is lovely and hand-drawn but those trees look too digitial. Maybe it's the soft shading you have on them. They would look a lot better if they had scratchy shading like the rest of the map. Still not sure I'd like them more than the original style though.

Great map! I really like the southern end, that canyon with the river through it is just excellent and those mountains are fantastic. For some reason though it looks to me like the 3/4 effect is lost as you approach the northern half of the map. I think if you could update the lake and river to have more of a 3/4 view it would be perfect.

I had the initial style of forests, as I liked it better, myself. And it is scratchy shading... it just doesn;t seem to come across as well.Originally Posted by Ramah
