WIP Map - Looking for critiques and advice as I go! (huge map)

[zahlprish]

So I am now working on the large mountain ranges in the center of the map. I have also finished putting in all of the low layer-hilly terrain that surrounds them as well. This is just the first stage of the my mountains, i plan on going back to touch them up at actual pixel size and then trying to fill large gaps in with smaller mountains, i think. As for snow and coloring, that will probably all come last after I have all the terrains and etc set up.

Please dont hesitate to leave feedback!

This large "hole area" is actually going to be a large "frozen lake"

100% actual pixel view

So are you thinking this lake would have formed when the caldera of a volcano filled up with water? There is a real world precedent for that in Oregon's Crater Lake. It's also the only explanation I can think of for why something like that would occur.

Possibly, however, this is a campaign/fantasy map, so it doesnt have to be 100% real....im doing this for a relative who created this map with pencil on hexagonal paper. I scanned it in and everything. But I still want to make it as real as i can but stay accurate to the drawing as well!
