Unnamed World (WIP)

Right, progress update.
This is what I've got so far after much redrawing and stuff.

The "Highland" cliff style is all hand drawn so may look a bit off - still trying to get the angles right. The idea of the Highlands is that when the Southern continent smashed into the northern it caused part of the latter to shift downwards along one of the plates, forcing what is now the Highlands up. At least, that's the idea - not sure if I have the geography right or not, lol.

This is just one portion of the entire map; I didn't realise the amount of work to be done until I actually started. My last post was almost 10 days ago and this is the current result.

I've taken the "meh" style you guys like and just spruced it up a bit; which has, to me, had a positive effect on the overall design.

The original has a black border around it, I've simply erased around the outside to give the actual image a bit more focus.

Let me know what you think, thanks

I realy like the rendering of your cliffs at the highlands, they blend perfectly to the style of the map.
Are the Mountainbrushes to large? I tried to make them for large printing, well perhaps a bit too large for normal maps.

Thanks,

The mountain brushes are, to me, too large. If I make them smaller, the penciling (where the shading is done) gives the mountains a more "realistic" look as opposed to being visibly drawn in. I like them big, but I prefer the effect they give off when made smaller; I reduce all of them to 90px to get the effect they have at the moment.
