First Attempt

[Crossbow]

The coastline looks good and interesting
I don't really get the background "patches", I think they might distract you in the further process.

Yeah, that was a very poor first attempt at an old parchment color. It's far too strong and in need of serious tweaking. Luckily it's just a couple of layers that I can turn off if I need.

What scale are you aiming for/ how big is it going to be?

In theory, it's supposed to be large continent size, but I really don't like the idea of it being a Pangea-like mass. I'm going to try to talk him down to more like Africa-size. Personally, I'd prefer more like South America at the largest, but it's not my world.

The major feature is a mountain range running east-west roughly in the middle. I'm still waiting on confirmation of location, etc...
