    That texture on the surface is great. It makes it look like some type of stripped animal skin! Rivers/Lakes generally don't split, so you might want to clean that up. Also, in The Wilds, I would probably say your river meanders way to much based on the scale of the map, but thats just me. Love the cliffs! You might think about making the secondary spires off your mountains be a bit smaller than the ridgeline, but again, that's just me. All in all, this is a very nice map! Rep++

    Thumbs up, nice first map.
    -You can get some great mapping tips from the tuts on the site.
    -The black lines on the mountains ruins it a bit for me.
    -You've made a good start using brushes for terrain texture, i think it will look great with a little practice an experimentation.
    -You will get a visit from the river police, so I won't touch that.
    -Are the missing fills of the lakes intentional?
    -The roads should go over the rivers imo, or put a bridge/ford symbol over it
    -I really like the skin/hide background, good job!
    Keep it up!
