I'm working on to finish up the known side (northern side) of the world. Here is a smal sample, but I'll upload a bigger update later when I get things more finished.

The town seems a bit bright (compared to the rest of the image), is the sun shining directly on it?

Decided to work on the forgotten land side finalizing land shapes, textures and details. It's not finished yet, but enough for now before I get more done on the northern "known world" side.
Played also with the labeling to create something different that would fit to this map and I came up with 3d; ish look. I strengthened it by manually adding shadow that follows up the landscape by using “liquify” tool in Photoshop.
I hope this lightens up a bit what is coming up.
That is bloody amazing.
I love the way this is coming along, Very impressed!
I can't really offer any suggestions or criticisms, I'm spending way too much effort in enjoying the view

"...sometimes the most efficient way to make something look drawn by hand is to simply draw it by hand..."
That is about ten kinds of bad-ass.

It does indeed look stunning, especially the waterfalls. This is some impressing terrain and I like the labeling. Like RobA I have some difficulty adjusting to the view, though. It's mostly because of the waterfalls I think. They suggest a perspective look, but the mountains behind it are almost top-down.
Check out my City Designer 3 tutorials. See my fantasy (city) maps in this thread.

I'll second what Diamond said...all kinds of killer. I like the perspective labels because I've done them myself...just my kind of thing so I dig it. My fave part is the icons and runes...I'm gonna have to have a go at that myself. This is definitely a place that I'd like to walk around in and since that stirs the imagination I shall bonk thee with my +13 butter knife of reptitude.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

Be careful with such a great weapon Ascension. With great power comes great responsibility…
So thank you all for the C&C, I’m finally closing the goal here. Now it’s more like fine tuning and correcting mistakes (and creating compass of which I have no idea yet). I expect to finish this up latest on weekend depending on how much time I can spare.
This one is done now and the latest final version can be found from the finished maps section.
Thanks you all for the kind words, but especially thank you for the good criticism given (and thank you Gandwarf for the waterfall idea, it turned out great).
