    Wip First Regional Map

    Hi, new to the guild and map making. I am using Jezelf's excellent tutorial on building a regional map and just wanted to get some feedback.

    Here is the updated map with some rivers, hills, and mountains.

    Looks good. Nice varied coastline and the muted colors will work with a hand drawn style. I'll check in on this...

    This is a very pleasant style. The map allows you to imagine things without any one part of it being jarring or over emphasized.

    I hope you enhance it with many rivers and mountains.
    I will be watching your progress.

    Just curious, but which color is the land, and which is water? My first assumption was that the dark color was the land, and the light was the water, but after continuing to look at it, I see that the opposite could also work.

    Exactly my own thoughts

    If i'd have to bet, I'd still go with dark = land, light = water

    Interested to see where you go with this, so i hope you keep us posted...

    Hi, thanks for all the feedback and kind words. I would like to clear up the question of land and water. The land is the dark color and the water is the light color. Also I have been working on rivers and hills and hope to post for critique soon.
