The sea looks nice but the mountains are a bit blurry. Not sure if that's a compression problem with the uploaded file.
Carnifex's Workshop
Here I will post some general mapping tests. Illustrator and Photoshop mostly.
Comments welcome!
Note: I have very poor eye sight so i have problems writing and make loads of spelling mistakes - also on the maps I am afraid
Starting with a test map in PS... only stuff textures and brushes that comes in PS. And only layer styles (practically no drawing except for the rivers).

Some more tests. Mountains in photoshop as brush/layer style.

Those mountains are awesome. Would you mind to share your method each time you post new "experiments"?
Another mountain test. Fine adjusting. This is not using wilbur... only photoshop. A special brush and layer style.
Comments welcome! There is always room for improvement!

Fixed some more iwth the "only stuff that's built into PS and only layer styles" test.
That is... nothing in this map requires any hand painting or almost any work once the layer styles have been set. Just pick the right brush and create. The mountains requires only a basic round brush to paint.

Some things I have done lately:
Improved the mountains (ever sharper and better textures etc)
Made the roads
Made the bridges (actually not layer style!)
This version is also imroved with sgadowing and lighting/coloring.
