First Digitally-Created Map WIP

The colors are nice. Making all the mountains gray does sort of say "all mountains are bare rock from foothills to peaks".

That texture works OK zoomed way out, but up close it isn't a super plausible mountain chain. Stare at some real satellite photography, and zoom in and out on it, to see what you might want to aim for. Of course you don't have to duplicate a2area's incredibly detailed stitching together of real satellite data - many of the satellite-view methods used by the Guild's Masters (and kindly detailed in tutorials) do a good job of suggesting real-ish mountain ranges.

What kind of scale do you have in mind for this?

I was thinking that it's a little smaller than Europe. I probably should be more specific once I start adding the scales, compass rose, etc.
Anyways, I added forests and a couple more textures as well. I think its turned out pretty good since I haven't done anything like this before. It's all been hand-drawn stuff.
I'm going to try and start working on the map border and town names next.
