Ok, its been a while since I posted this (busy time), but I've been messing around with everyone's suggestions and have made V2, which I'm quite happy with now. I made the mountains stand out a lot more, decreased the texture on the ground, and gave it less intense colouring. The reason for this is because I do need to still add forests, towns, borders, etc. on the map. I don't want it to be too vibrant. Since I had to make this one from pretty much scratch (except for the shape) I took it upon myself to spruce it up a bit. I doubled the size (however for online purposes, it is still only at 50%), redid all of the rivers so they fell into the scale much better, and added some lakes to make it more interesting.

Again, I'm really open to feedback, it really helps in getting things right. The end product will be twice this size, so that each region can be mapped at a nice resolution to include towns, cities and other neat landmarks. I hope for each region to almost be a standalone map.
