My First Map - Comments Please!

[Gandwarf]

For your first map with CC3 this looks good! I especially like the small part with the hills in the top right corner (next to the desert).

Some critique:

- The blue lines are rivers? If so, you should try to give them the same color as the sea.

- Your mountains don't look too natural, I would experiment with putting them closer together. For an example in my work, check this thread:

Try the same with the green hills, but don't pack them too close together.

- The horseman plains look a bit empty. I understand they are plains, but maybe along the coast or river somewhere you can put some more vegetation. Don't overdo it.

- You are using a pretty standard font I think. Try using some other more fantasy themed fonts. There are loads that can be downloaded.

Great start. I agree about the font for the unknown city. Play around some with effects as well.
