Well, I already had to register here to view the wonderful tutorials available (specifically ones about mountains and initial land generation), so I thought I might as well post my more or less finished work. It's quite cartoony (as is my general art style), and this is really, I suppose, my first attempt at semi-realistic map.

I read up on the river topic and believe it helped me choose locations to place them, however, I'm not sure if I've overlooked anything. I'm not really sure if it's 100% necessary to have a river connected to every lake, I'm sure with enough rainfall or a spring a lake could appear. As such, the ones I've left without rivers are quite small.

It could use some more work, I suppose, but that's probably beyond my current skill level. I'd like to add distinct forests and marshes in the future, for one. I think what I'm least happy with currently is my attempt at a snowy tundra up north. Looks like clouds gone wrong.

Made it with Gimp, and it's about 30 layers or so.
