    Default Six maps open for critics and comments :)

    Thanks for those who have commented my maps so far, actually it gave me the following idea, to post six of my maps in order so you can:
    1-see the general shape of my continent.
    2-see if I have things that would need to be changed.
    3-give you a little introduction of my plans with those maps.

    **Oh and these are not the latest versions**

    Very, VERY cool. I will take a closer look later, but I think what would be nice for ease of viewing is if you merged the images together.
    Great stuff!

    I already have things changed, and other things I WILL change (thanks for those commented my previous maps).
    -First of all the map to the north east has a river that divides in two and rejoins later on, that is not normal I believe but I will keep it for some reasons. However, it happens on other maps and there I will remove the split and joining again.
    -I was already told that some of my lakes and rivers split in an unnatural way (you may see it on the north west or also one in the North east with a star right between the lake and the mountains) I will be working on it on my actual redrawing.
    A friend of mine told me that my swamps have sometimes to many akward rivers in them, I admit that often with swamps I just put rivers to make it look like wet and humid. I think my biggest mistake was on the center north map where you have a swamp surrounded by mountains with a lake that looks like a mutant octopus X.x
    -Now, concerning the two looooooong mountains chains that are pretty much dividing in an akward way the South west map... I suppose it really does not look natural does it?
    -Still on the South west map, I know there is like a swirl with mountains where the two long chains diverge the most, even in my story it is not a normal geographical feature. Was made by the Dark Emperor.

    Whew... As a summary, I guess I must work on :
    1-Having a more logical hydrography
    2-Not overdoing the rivers in swamp

    Oula... Not so good on comps sadly Also I think therewould be some inequalities because of the scanning. Will try though.

    One problem I had was in determining where was water and where was land.
    Looking at the larger image of six it's a bit easier to tell. But when I click on one image and see it, it's harder to tell.
    Some detail to denote water would be helpful.
    Overall, I like the land shapes. It looks good.

    Okay here it is, and merged. I put some notes to on what I should change and what I should add.

    Yeah, the merged is much better!

    It's amazing how giant it is, you have some serious dedication! Are you going to label anything eventually?

    A lot of the notes I think would be fine to leave how they are..

    What do you find hard about labeling?

    I like the labeling you got there, adds an extra level of depth.
    What crazy names!
