Greetings!

Welcome aboard flaming undead one. Nice map, and have some rep for a map in the first post

My only critique here is that parts of the larger continent seem to be floating over the water. Like you did a drop shadow on it or something. The smaller one to the south does not have that problem though.

Nice work though.

ty for the welcome!

appreciate the thoughts on the floating - it was actually intentional! if you view the map at full size and look, i am using a fairly intense azure/aqua stroke, a slight bevel and then another light colored stroke that changes around the landforms (because its directly affected by the base gradients used to color them.) I chose this approach because of the aesthetics of the piece. I wanted it to appear that the landforms might have been jigsawed out of a second sheet of wood, painted and then mounted directly on top of the base wood sheet where the oceans were painted. It directly relates to why I chose to make very obvious textures of rougher paint apparent in parts of the coloration where thicker paint would be. Maybe i need to play with the bevel settings to make this more apparent and look less like a drop shadow.
