    Map Seaford Bay

    Here is my first (decent) map!

    Josiah helped me a lot, and there would have been no way I could have done it without him.

    It was done in Photoshop.

    Very good for a first map! I absolutely love how the mountains appear behind the mountains! Also like the shapes and of the mountains and the overal color! My only critique would be that some of the labels are not perfectly legible, especially the ones that overlap the coastlines. Otherwise this is very great!

    Thanks Dan!

    Yes, I agree with you, and I now realize I could have done something to make that easier to read. Thanks for the critique!

    I also now just realize that I accidentally have two Haipools on the map. Whoops...

    That's a fine first map ! You already have strong coloring skills.

    First off, beautiful color and perspective. Like the Type going behind some of the mountains.

    Ebras illegible where it's located. Maybe dot a little smaller? Ghostwood Forest - the river just below, changes pretty abruptly from wide, to thin? The Silver Mountains may be feeding another river?

    Great job, keep it going.

    This is a great first map! I like the colors, and the texture of the land. The text labels may be a bit hard to read, but other than that, it's a beautiful first try!

    Really great job !!!
    Simple map, but you put a lot of work and the result is really good !
    Very coherent and I like the choice of colors.
    I love the place that you create : the bay, The Island, the mountains and the valley... Great places for great stories.
    And I like the labels hidden by the mountains !
