The rivers would look better if you go rid of the bumpy texture.

This was originally meant to be a region, then it morphed into a terrain elevation experiment, so before it gets way out of hand I'm about ready to call this done and move on to something new. Let me know if there's something I missed/overlooked or need to revisit/tweak/fix. I didn't really feel like going all out with a border, frame, fancy graphics and whatnot but can if people think I should...otherwise I'll call it a successful experiment and leave it at that. Fixed those bumps Nym, I left in before cuz I thought they broke up the rivers a bit.

That looks great - good work. Like how this one turned out.
Besides the map being very awesome (par for the Ascension course) I love that cartouche! How did you do that?
I think, therefore I am a nerd.

Pimping my worldmap here. Still WIP... long way to go, but I'm pretty proud of what I've done so far...
Without knowing his exact steps - it looks to me like a beveled shape with a "wind" filter and a wood/brick texture applied, and I would guess lots of "burn" applied to the lettering.Originally Posted by Karro
The compass rose & the "Stay Out' like like they were drawn with a mouse (could be wrong on that tho)...

Very nice! Only thing I see that throws me is the travel routes. The one in the NE, it's hard to tell if it goes through valleys or not, but if it does, thats fine.
The one over on the NW side though...you have the path going over a ridgeline....Not sure it it's a mountain or just a hill, but something to think about. People almost always take the easier route instead of the shortest, of course, the technology or magic level may make this a moot point.)

I like the rivers better now. The bump mapping in them didn't work because of how narrow they are.
This looks awesome
