Hi all,

New here, just registered today- I just finished my first map for a casual client, and had a ton of fun with it. I think I'd like to do more of this type of work in the future, so I'd love critique. I have experience with art and basic compositional elements, but I'm not as great with typography.
I used an older version of Paint tool SAI for the majority of this project, and Photoshop elements for the Text. The fonts were from this list: http://www.thehutt.de/tolkien/fonts.html


I made all the assets myself, including mountains, trees, compass rose, and icons.

Client was dictating the added black castles after the rest of it was completed, and they look a bit busy on there imo, but not horrible.

I'd especially like to know how to make pre-made assets flow better together, how to get the type of varied line width I see all the time on commercial game art, and how to improve my typography.

Here it is:
