The World of Armengard
Hi everyone!
This is my first map. The world known Armengard. This is a map for a universe on which I am working since 2013. (I had already made a sketch map which I used, but a real and beautiful map that's better!).
So it's far from over, but I wanted your opinion, and your advice. For exemple, about the subject of color of the mountains and forests. I can't decide. Colored or not?

Anyway I am very proud of my parchment texture ^^ '

Depending on the scale, how many kilometers it is from side to side, I would remove about a third of the mountains maybe even half. If this represents 10,000 kilometers then it is good. I might tone down the green a little but if you left it as is then that's fine, too. I'd have to see it larger to really know. I like the colors and my suggestions are minor.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

The colors are definitely awesome. I've always been a fan of the dark grey/gold combo.
Thank you both!
So, for the size. Each "square" is 500 * 500 km. From east to west, the map measures 7000 km.
This is the map, in bigger:

I thought the same thing.Originally Posted by Ascension
Otherwise the map is really nice - one sees that you have spent a lot of time with it.
What part of the world does this map show (what lat/long corresponds to the edges) ?
I lacked the words to describe what I wanted to say so instead I just drew on your map. These are just my suggestions so feel free to tell me to mind my own business.

Nice work. I like the color scheme with the green forests. The rivers you have look good, but with that many mountains and large lakes I think there would be more rivers.

Thank you for the advice ^^ I will not be doing it everywhere (especially in the north, where I need these great mountain ranges), but for the rest, it just remains for me to find beautiful hills: D
For now I am down to work to remake all the rivers (most of which were just not very nice sketch) a lot prettier.
