The Lands of Todes Grube - remapping

[Boslok]

A friend of mine asked me to redo his map that he's been using for the past 30 years in his D&D campaigns, I happily obliged him having spent many a night enjoying the campaign as a player. I've posted his original and then posted the work in progress.

I've really enjoyed digging around the site and seeing all the work here, picked up a few tricks and now I'm experimenting with them on this particular map. I used Midgardsormor's clone technique for my mountains, hills, trees. RobA's weathered paper tutorial to spice up my background. I'm so planning on trying the fields surrounding the towns like JammyMatt's unnamed.

I'd really like some input if anyone willing to throw in their 2c.
Here's a list of some of the things I'm still working on.
- maze lands and bile fens areas
- cities still need to be put in and labeled
- small labels need some work to blend in better
- soften the hard edge between the mountains and surrounding landscape
- more work on the hills
- draw in some grass
- snow and snow caps

He's aware that a couple of the rivers violate river rules, but they are going to stay as is. I believe the one runs in a massive cavern under the plains of devastation and connects up on the side.
