    Have some rep for posting your first map. It's looking pretty good also and all the rivers are in order.

    Some criticism/suggestions:

    - The large, handwritten font is beautiful, but it doesn't mix with the other fonts too well I think. You might want to experiment with some other fonts.
    - The mountain range is really thin all over the place, you might want to broaden it at some places to give it a more natural feel.
    - More a question: I am confused about some of the red lines, why do they run into the ocean?

    Obviously I'm not the mapmaker, but my interpretation is that they mark borders, and where they overlap the ocean they represent territorial waters.
    I think, therefore I am a nerd.

    Indeed they do! I wonder if/how that could be made clearer on a future map. . .

    Gandwarf, thanks for the suggestions! I need work on my mountains, but I just found a tutorial on the site here that seems perfect and really helpful! This place is great! I'm practicing my mountains for my next map this morning. Your suggestion about the font is well noted! I should use a more consistent look to my fonts next time.

    Thanks for all the help everybody!
