Reminds me of Earth, strangely enough.

ChillinSpyder...sorry but all new maps have to start off in the New Maps subforum, therefore this is being moved there.

Also, as you are new, so that you understand the processes involved, you might consider familiarising yourself with the How A Map Progresses Through The Foundry...an important read for budding mapmakers (if you haven't already done so).

Welcome aboard, and hope you can stick the distance...it is well worth while to conquer all the challenges that might be projected your way.

so this is just like.. a country? or something of that nature.

is it made up or based on something?

the legend is too basic.

33 is an eh number to start with...

not to mention the art

Try looking at other maps for ideas. That always helped me.
