[Ascension]

In case you were wondering; I edited your wip tag so that it conforms properly - otherwise the thumbnail scraper won't scrape it up. As far as the map goes, I like the idea of the background text (always a good artsy touch) but I think you should confine it to the periphery instead of covering the map itself. This isn't a big thing and if you decide to leave then fine. The main thing is the rivers...oy. First off you can't have a river stretching from sea to sea - rivers flow downhill and since sea level is sea level there's no downhill...your rivers would have to flow uphill somewhere and physics won't allow that. You have this problem on both southern continents so simply break them up so that they don't go sea to sea. Your top left continent has a related problem - one lake with two outflows each going to a different sea. Again, simply chop one off somewhere. The center continent has rivers that fork out and this only happens in deltas. Since this a world map your deltas would, therefore, be ungodly huge. You could either break those up, like the other rivers, or make your deltas much much closer to the coast - almost unnoticeable. You could get away with this if this were a regional scale or city scale map but not world scale. On the positive side everything else looks great
