Thanks for the input, Alfar. Basically, I got to thinking the sea-shelfing effect made this map look too busy, too crowded, so I got rid of 90% of it, and just left a hint on the shorelines. As far as the darkness/clouds, yeah, I'm kind of not digging that either, but I'm at a loss as to how to lighten up the darker patches at this point. All I can tell you is this is really mountainous terrain. The only part that is really, REALLY bugging me and that I might have to go back in and redo is that area in the north of Marcovy - there's a patch there that has a kind of rainbow-effect that looks... off.
