[QUOTE="Pyrandon, post: 3950675, member: 51968"] Hi, Craig. Hey, nice start on that map--especially from using Paint! (wowee! ;) ) I can think of a few suggestions for you in the finishing department, but as for layout I also have a couple questions that may help. For example, rivers generally run from higher elevations (esp. mountains) to the seas; on your map it appears the Sea of Argir drains via a delta into another body of water, and that the Lindale/Grandwood/Orthemore area has three rivers from a well (?) all draining into the Astarian Sea. In a magical realm anything is possible, of course, but on first inspection these made me wonder. Generally, though I really like your layout and coastlines. I agree with Sunaj that you may wish to head over to the Cartographers' Guild. I think if you have Photoshop no one would say dump it for the GIMP, but the past Guild threads and members over there could help with input and advice on using PS if you wanted. There are some professional and amazing amatures over there. If you decide not to post it over there, keep it going in this thread so we can see how you're progressing! Nice start! Keep it going!
