    looking good.

    1 critique though. It might just be me and me ancient eyes, but I am seeing the forests as standing higher than the mountains. Maybe do something about the shadow around them, or make the mountains larger.

    Ah yes, these are the famous cloud forests of Graelor

    Thanks for pointing that out Korash, I'll see if reducing the shadow a tad helps any.

    I've named all the pertinent points, and sent all the impertinent points off to stand in a corner.

    This map is now almost done, except for coming up with a suitable border and fine tuning a bit.

    I know ya gotta shrink the image size down to upload but the forests just look like squiggly blobs to me and I thought they were lakes. Do they look better at full size? I'd like to see a screencap of a section at full size, if possible, or put the shadow back in and make the mountains taller. I'm liking the previous one better, altho that's just my opinion.

    Info

    And here is the full sized sample requested, showing the forests

    I'm going to run one out tomorrow at my office on my plotter to get a better feel for how it looks as well.
