Colors are great and the rivers are my fave part here (except the thick parts should probably taper off instead of ending abruptly). Not sure why some of the islands have white rings and the others don't. So far so sweet.

If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

Thank you all for posting, I really appreciate each and every post!
Thank you!Originally Posted by Naeddyr
I don't have the scale quite figured out but the "continent" is roughly a million square miles. So not huge but still fairly large.
Thank you!Looks good to me. I like the color palette and your watersheds look good. I too am intrigued by the circles and the all-important scale
The circles demarcate areas where Archmagi levitated whole mountain ranges to form their own personal floating islands (which are not pictured in the map). The spells used were of epic proportion and their after-effects (including what can be described as a lighter gravity, which allows the flora and fauna in the areas to grow to substantially larger than any where else on the continent) linger. Actually the only reason I included the circles was to let the viewer know that the 5 big (for a lack of a better term) "crop circles" on the map was indeed intentional.
EDIT: I am using CS3 to create this map.
Thank you very much!Looks very good.
My next goal is to make the larger rivers taper off and form deltas
The islands with the white rings represent islands that are mingled between the other planes and the material plane. Basically, they're islands where the inland portions are much, much larger than their shorelines (as seen from the outside) appear to be.

Ok so I updated the map, adding in more lakes and making most of the rivers taper off. I tried a few different ways to taper the rivers off including more delta-like and wider endings, so let me know if you like either/or.
