    Wip

    I'd say this is the fastest I've ever done a mountain/hill layout using my own brushes and/or an overlapping method.

    Well, all the rocky terrain bits are done, time to add deserts, vegetation and.. how the heck am I gonna do ice!

    [edit] fixed upload!

    This is very nice - the style and detailing are excellent, and I particularly like the way you've done the mountains. Looking forward to seeing the finished product

    Not gonna have to wait much longer

    Pending approval! I re-read all the notes, and went through point by point to make sure everything fits the criteria provided. I made a few small changes, nothing particularly noticeable (Most of the changes were done on vegetation, the geological terrain stayed more or less as is). I have the provided labels in place, and while it's difficult to show an underground river on an overground map, I compromised by having the outlet visible as it leaves the mountains but leaving it unlabeled (this could be considered an artistic embellishment with anyone in the area itself going "ok, so where's this marked river? Argh!! Lynch the Scribe!!").

    I once again used the automatic forest generator (I still can't sing enough praises for it) and also borrowed the crosshatching pattern kindly provided by Tom Cardin to help represent the tundra/ice.

    I can't rep you again this soon, but rest assured that it's the thought that counts.

    There is absolutely no way to express my excitement, joy, and gratitude over this!!!! It's magnificent! I love everything about it! I can't thank you enough! If there is anything I could say against it, it would be that it looks like Ea Mornen is misspelled, but you know me by now, I always find the silly little picky things. :3 But it's everything I hoped it would be and more. I'm probably going to sit and analyze/memorize the whole thing and start working some of the extra features into the story, especially the widened section of Adamo Ie Met and the forest line above Shirak Ua, as well as start inserting more towns and names for the forests and plains areas. Thank you so much! I can't explain how beneficial this is going to be for me and my story! And it just looks so amazing! If I have any other maps for this or other novels, you will certainly be the first to know if you aren't too busy! Thanks again Coyote!
