Like so many people, I came here from the Saderan tutorial posted on Reddit. Expanding from that, I decided to try and tell a story with the map itself. I wanted to avoid using any nameplates, any guidelines, or anything of that sort. I wanted the landscape to tell a story about the world and how it formed on its own. I also wanted to get my feet wet with the process.

If you're familiar with the tutorial, there's a few places I deviated from what was included. I added snow to the mountain peaks, the mountains themselves have a desaturated appearance to them to appear more rocky, and a few other little tricks I found that I feel enhanced the overall image. It's my first map, however, so I'm still looking to improve, so any feedback would be great.
