    The more I look at this the more I like how it's not crowded or overly detailled. It displays exactly what you might be looking for and doesn't confuse the eye.

    Those rivers ARE beautiful. Very natural looking.

    My only issue with this map is the light pastel colours. Its probably your personal style and its a matter of preference. But its a great map!

    Gorgeous, for lack of a better word. Love the shape and planning.

    I have done some more work on this map. I have added a little more depth of color to the highlands, and have added the city names. For this map, I don't plan on naming the smaller towns because there are so many, but I still wanted to show them based on their populations.

    I need to add a few more river names, and special locations, but this map is almost completed.

    Ok, after a little debate with myself, I decided to include the whole kingdom on one map. I had originally split the eastern portion of the map off to save on the size of the file, but I decided that I wanted the whole thing on this one map, so here it is.

    I still am doing some work on this. One thing that I want to do is to do some kind of "fog of war" over the lands of Elyon, as no outsiders have ever been allowed in that realm, so, other than the coastlines, no maps exist.

    This is really nice, landorl. I like it!

    If you're creating this in GIMP or Photoshop, it would be easy to just keep Elyon hidden by "blocking out" that fog on a new top layer; that way you'd know what's in there but no one else would. Just an idea--or maybe that's what you planned all along?
