WIP - Shegu
Ever since Gameprinter's "the Gempei War" map in the February challenge, I have been thinking about a chain of islands map like japan. I spent about an hour on FT and came up with this coastline which I think looks pretty good. I plan on making a pretty in-depth map so to get some advise and crit I threw it up here as a WIP.

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.

So I posted this map yesterday, thinking I would get something done on it, and then everything went haywire with the kids. Anywho finally got to playing with it for a little bit and got the sea lines done. What is the technical term for them anyway?
I always called it the water. But I don't think that's what you're after
I'm curious now, myself. The more I learn about cartography, the more complex and interesting I've found it to be.
Added grid, coastline and played with the "sea lines" a little bit. Mountains next.
The grid lines seem a little dark/heavy, do you plan to lighten them later?

SG - I don't know, we'll see how it looks when its finished.
Fooled around with mountains abit and want to give these a go. Let me know what you guys think. I think they will work, although I might still play with them a bit.
Rivers next.
I'm not sure quite how I feel about them, they remind me a bit veins on someones hand.
Maybe when more of the map is done, I can give a more constructive opinion
