Snag away, and thanks for the help.

Thank you,
I think my enthusiasm over my first map on this site led to some hasty inking, but my further posts will surely improve.
As long as I receive this honest and helpful feedback, I'm sure to improve my skills (which IS why I'm here); thank you to everybody who has responded.
Great work! I think this turned out very well. Very, very well.
Are you done with it, or thinking you will tweak and play some more?

Thanks,
I decided to play around with some layer styles in photoshop (a concept new to me) and this is what I came up with. I think it's a slight improvement.
What do you guys think the population of a settlement like this would be?
I would estimate somewhere in and around 10,000 adults or so. Not including transient populations, children, outlying farms, etc.
The Castle itself, would easily house 4-500 soldiers alone (archers, infantry, cavalry), plus their support staff (pages, cooks, skullery maids, stablehands, smiths, carpenters, etc)
Again, this is just my own guesstimations, nothing concrete.

Thanks,
that was roughly about what I was thinking, but just wanted to make sure I wasn't way off base.
What is the scale of the map? - I like the new sheet effects, but I think in this instance the added background noise is too much. Perhaps have a play with that and make it more subtle, smaller blobs for the ground (but the trees look superb for it)? Just a thought, but I think it's really just a matter of individual taste. I really like the inner glow thing you've got going with the buildings too.What do you guys think the population of a settlement like this would be?
You used color ink as well? I know that seems like a stupid question, but I was making sure you didn't photoshop it after you inked it... if so, where do you get your inks for your tech pens? I love the colors
No, the colour was all done in photoshop. I just inked the pencil drawing with a black staedtler pigment liner; nothing fancy.
