I think your colors are good but I think the texture is too bumpy...looks more like stone. Minor thing and easy fix, though.

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.

I find it gorgeous! >< I don't understand how it would look like stone though; it looks more of like a rough parchment to me.
Kind of looks like a toasted cracker. Great. Now I'm hungry.
Congrats on your first commission jt!
Looking forward to seeing how it all turns out!

Per some suggestions I toned the parchment texture down some. I can put it back if you'd prefer. I also started on some of the terrian features. I used a very muted color scheme to give the forest a little "life"

I prefer the prvious one ><" But maybe put some faded/worn colours randomly around the map?
