WIP - Yis Shannal

[Will Phillips]

First off, welcome to the Guild!

Here are a quick three thoughts I've got about the map:

1. I really like the forest texture. A lot. You could tone down the bur on their edges, but apart from that, it's nice. The fields and desert are great, too.

2. Your brown areas - I assume they are mountains - look way too much like an autumn/drought version of your forest. They could use a more angular look, and there are plenty of tutorials and examples here to draw from.

3. The ocean, in my opinion, has waaaaay too much texture. It could really be toned down a few notches. Lower the opacity or blur the image.

What he said. I am thinking the forest color might be lightened up a bit (perhaps 2-3 layers of color applied randomly with an airbrush grundge brush for some variaty????) Texture seems to be good though but it's a bit hard to tell as dark as it is.

Pretty much everything else I with TheImperial on. What are the tan textured areas? Hills? And... um whats with the lines going into the oceans? At first, I thought it was some type of defensive wall around Banyan built into the sea...until I saw another one cutting the continent in half. I assume this is some type of political border? Don't get me wrong, I don't not like it, but I assume some type of legend will come along later to explain what it is.

And before Del comes along and gives ya heck, it is really helpful for us to know scale to be able to provide better feedback.
