    Nice style! How are you going to be using this map? VTT, printed out, projected? Detailed tactical or just a general impression of the area? I'm inclined to think it needs more pixels--it would be nice to be able to zoom in on it a bit.

    The crops don't quite match--the road, buildings, and trees all have "pencil" lines, but the crops don't, making them seem blurrier than everything else.

    Yep what he said.
    Make em bluryerer-er also add some more green splotches. Crops need leaves!

    Then your done.

    Hmm... impressionist gaming sounds interesting.

    While I agree with the comments its very pretty and absolutely great for an encounter map.

    I'd add the comments to your list of things to consider next time.

    Looks good. What are you doing next ! .

    Thanks all!

    Glad to see that art appreciation thrives here

    I think I'll just slap a "done" label on it and move on to the next.
