Kurvantium - An island map

[Jaxilon]

First of all, thank you all so much for your thoughts. I always consider what's said and try to visualize it so it's never that I'm not listening - either I'm lost trying to do whatever you said or I'm deciding if I want to do it for this time or save the thought for my next project. I guess there will be times when I don't agree but I'm all about trying new things right now so feel free

I changed that big black line between mountain and snow - Thanks Coyotemax. I could go through and really cut down on the rest of the black lines but then I start feeling like I have to go all realistic and I don't know that this map is ever destined for such things.

Regarding the trees - I was thinking, "I really need to draw some trees now. But first, let me try something".... And those came out. Like I said, initially this was just about trying some experiments and I thought they were close enough that I'd just go with them. They are really easy to make and I figured if nothing else I could use them for some other map. I'm not sure if I want to blow away the trees and draw new ones for this particular map (not that these took me very long). Maybe after a day or two I will feel it.

I am putting another style of water on the 2nd image (it still has the original mountains so ignore that) to see if anyone thinks I should pursue that direction. Rythal got me thinking about it and it might look better with a less radical looking Sea? I'll have to redo the sky but I think this gets the idea of what it would look like with different water. This water needs more character put into it but hopefully it gets the idea of what a different direction would take it.
