Mardarin W.I.P

[tilt]

the town by the lake looks good, the other need som more perspective, and your roads could use some more blending in they look like they are lying on top of the forrests - try deleteing som forest where the road goes to help it "sink in". Otherwise, really good looking, love your mountains

oops forgot to do the blend, I needed to redo the road, but when you say perspective, I think I may understand but maybe you could elaborate a little bit for me. Cause I've messed with the cities, and this is a mixed love hate for them right now =P and maybe your idea of perspective might tip the scales.

right now the cities look a bit like "plastered on" - they have to integrate more in the landscape - as said you did it with the town by the lake - you "laid the town down" so it follows the landscape. Things further away in the city should be smaller and you can "cheat" by squeezing the city more together at the back.

Tilt, I get what your saying, but for the life of me every time I try to really adjust it it doesn't really come out right... but I did mess with them, they are still close to the same but I think I like them more than before, thanks again for the input but I continued one and added more stuff in, its nearing completion! Still any advice would be grand!

p.s. I realized I didn't flip the forest heightening and what not on, so it'll look flat again, and I forgot to tone down the fields on the left.

Mardoon is alright now, if you want to give it a bit more - try making the wall lower at the back of the town as things further away are smaller
Mardarin looks wrong because the wall are a perfect square. I've attached an image to show you what to do

[Yandor]

Well I added more in, finished off the rivers, and naming, I tilted the city of Mardarin and put a clouded area over the right side, Tell me what you think and any other opinions I think I'll throw a border on it, and stick it in the finished area! Well Thanks again for all your help!

looking good - really like the cloud idea... and the clouds too ... the cities look fine. The lettering is bit dominating and I think I'd rather use some antiqua letters (those with feet) for fantasy maps as these look a bit modern.
