    Nice choice of colors on the mountains!

    Not sure about those rivers, where they're ending up? Rivers usually end at the innermost part of a fjord, not at the tip of the land jutting out into the sea. E.g. like this https://www.google.no/maps/@59.49648...1949,14z?hl=en

    Welcome to the Guild Rivven. I like the mountain range.

    Hey Rivven, welcome to the Guild. I would echo Thomax's statement regarding the rivers.

    Hi Rivven, welcome!

    In addition to the river problem, I think you could decrease the bevel on the shorelines. It's too much for the scale of the map, IMHO. I like the colors and the general terrain look, and you did a nice job with the ocean shallows.

    Looks pretty cool... I dont mind the heavy bevel as much but i think its way too grainy and sharp.. Before toning the bevel and other texture effects down try applying a blur to see if that smoothes it out?
