WIP - Needs Help

[Rythal]

looking way better than my first mapping attempts! :p

1) try making a solid green colour, and apply noise of some sort. I'm not really familiar with GIMP, but also adding a stone texture with a high roughness level might work (again, not that big of a GIMP user)

2)the symbols are pretty good for the map, though maybe a bit too large. the roads look way too smooth, imo.

3)I'd say between those two the top left, but thats just my opinion

4)http://www.cartographersguild.com/showthread.php?t=5693

also, the mountains seem a little too white (pardon any racist connotations), and its kind of hard to distinguish where the mountains end and the grass starts.
