Okay. Well, apparently I wasn't as close to done as I thought. Messed about with suggesting terrain with light and shadow layers. Did a *lot* of texturing, to great benefit I think. The water is still meh...I didn't sell it. Oddly I still haven't done much with roads yet.

Very nice, this keeps getting better and better.

I like the water. Well, mostly. The stream off to the right especially needs something to suggest flow. Maybe add rapids in a couple of places?
Hi all,
Thanks for the comments. I've made some improvements to the water and (I think) finished texturing the rest of the map. The river on the right actually does have some flow texturing but it's not really visible at this magnification...I'll beef it up a bit so it shows.
Been working on a compass rose (complete with Chinese-style dragon wrapped around it), titling, etc. for a finished presentation of it. My finished-finished version will also have ships and maybe a rickshaw or two..not sure if I'll include those in the finished version I post here. What do you guys think? Would it add some life or clutter it?

try it with, and if it looks cluttered take them out
Really, unless you try it, you won't know for sure. I say go for it, myself.

Good call. No full-scale WIPs from now on probably...the details are too small to make much difference (which means I have to STOP soon).
BUT, I just had to share my compass rose, done today. I can't take credit for the design of the dragon itself, but the drawing itself and the rose "design" are mine. It was fun. I think it'll help give it some Asian flavor, along with my chop. How does it look?
