My first map!

[Ozdarchangel]

Hi guys, new here but thought that after 4 weeks of drawing I'd post this for all the world to see!

This map represents a lot of firsts for me, but I'm pretty happy with how it all turned out. First map I've ever drawn, first time I've used Photoshop for digital painting (only ever retouched photos in the past), first time I've used a Surface Book with it's funky pen. Apart from a quick hello in the intro forums, it's my first post too

After scouring both this site and FantasticMaps for tutorials, I decided to create an illustrative-styled Regional map for the D&D campaign my friends and I have recently started playing through (myself being the GM). It represents the area we have started the campaign in, but I'll be moving very quickly on to a much larger world map now that I have this one fleshed out. Whilst it is largely derivative from tutorials and others' maps I've looked to for inspiration, each stroke was my own using a Surface Book and digital pen in Photoshop.

In terms of the background to the map itself and the lands it represents a portion of:
The Planeswalkers
Thrust together by an unknown force, our adventurers wake to find themselves transported to the edge of a strange circle of charred grass, where the hair stands up on the nape of your neck and the world just feels "wrong". Far from home and in an unknown land, our adventurers must work together to figure out why they are here, where "here" is, and why they are being harried by a malevolent force veiled in shadow that seems bent on destroying the southern lands in search of something.

Comments and criticism welcome, and would very much be appreciated.
