    First of all: I like the map. The paper style is great.

    Here are my River Nitpicks:

    The delta in the river North East of the Main Continent... the branch I surrounded in red is looking odd... either the whole peninsula is marshland, then there should be at least one branch straight to the north or, more likely, the peninsula is stony and the river is sourcing east of it.

    Second nitpick: The river far northeast doesn't soruce into the sea (on a very close look, I know...)

    Here are the pictures of evidence

    Finally finished with the mountains... I tried to draw them on the computer forever and eventually said 'screw that I'm drawing this on paper' and I did... this is the result. Also adjusted the contrast so it doesn't look so dull.

    I'll work on all of the river nitpicks right now.

    Killer mtns...doing it by hand always seems to produce a better end result; nice job.

    Um ... this assumes a certain amount of talent with a pencil, hehe. I find just about anything I do looks much better if I run it through the computer somehow

    Although, I do concur in this case. The mountains look fantastic.

    Repped... I'm speechless about the mountains.

    Although Gandwarf is right, they are a little too big given the complexity of the coastline.

    But still... impressive work.

    Fixed rivers/mountain scale, and started with the text. I'm really not sure about the regional names I've added and may just scrap them and have them explained in the notes of the maps various users. The scale is around 1.5 miles = one pixel, for reference (I'll add a scale later when I make a stylized one)
