This is my world map that I've recently been re-adjusting. I was rather unhappy with the previous styles I was using and decided to go with something a little more fanciful, less pseudo-realistic. This map is heavily a work-in-progress. The central continent has a whole truckload of lore to go with it, but the rest of the continents we're still playing with.

I just want to know what y'all think - am I going in a good direction, should some things be altered, what's good and what's bad?



To note, I've used the following tutorials:
- How to Make a Flag: http://www.photoshopsupport.com/elem...ement-map.html
- Tapering Rivers by Arcana: http://www.cartographersguild.com/showthread.php?t=2711
- ISO Mountains by jfrazierjr: http://www.cartographersguild.com/showthread.php?t=3717

- Making Maps by jezelf: http://www.cartographersguild.com/showthread.php?t=2557
- I think my compass rose was inspired by GamerPrinter's map, which he posted at the CBG.

Currently I'm debating on whether I want to add trees or not, and if so, how. I've tried about a half-dozen different styles of portraying trees on this map, and I don't care for any of them yet. I've also reconsidering the flags. Perhaps it's just the way they're displayed right now that I don't care for.

In any case, I would love your critiques! Thanks
Nice start there! Thanks for listing the threads you used. Please be sure to rate the threads based on how useful they were and if rep the authors also if you wish.

Since you are the only person I have heard from to directly use my ISO tutorial in a project, I am going to rep ya!
