    This is a new WIP by me placed in the same unnamed world i try to create, trying to use a slightly different style, am probably going to make it black and white. What is your impression of the mountains/hills/forest and if they fit better then they do in my previous maps? They are a bit different then from my previous work, smaller scale-wise . I used Giddes brushes and thank him for them, they are real close to what I imagined, will be using them further until I make my own decent ones .

    Her.....


    I am not a big fan of the lines around the hills, especially since you have the hills spaced out quite a bit from each other, but that's just the style of those brushes... One thing that distracts me about that is that the hills and mountains have one stroke width and the forest has a much fainter stroke width for those lines...

    But... thats just a personal opinion and other than that.. I quite like the overall thing and since you are using premade brushes.... it's fairly quick to whip something like this up....

    EDIT: oh yea.. the stroke on the coast is WAYYYYYY to thick....

    It looks quite striking, I think, with the black against the simple white. I'd be inclined to make the rivers black, too. Keep the solid lines. (Are the dotted lines roads?)
    The coast is a bit thick as stated above, but I like the general shape of it.
