    Thanks for the advice! I played around with it, and it helped a lot.

    I think I'm done. There's a version with, and one without colours. I'm probably gonna go with the coloured one, but I'll post both of them here.

    I'm not quite sure, is the viewpoint meant to be looking 'down' the valley from what looks like a lake in the foreground to the sea in the top left? those mountains on the right confuse it for me a little. Really nice work though

    Like a.coldyman i Think in the earlier works that the front water surface was a sea and was worried with the floudings of some rivers. But with this last additions i realise that it was a lake and the back water surface a sea. I'm fan of this pictural map ! All the lines work make really feel the relief of the region. Really beautifull.

    Yeah, regarding the river ... I never planned much of this drawing. At first I did mean it to flow to the front, but I saw that didn't make much sense at all. Tried to change the direction somehow, but by then it was a bit late to pull it off convincingly. It still doesn't look very realistic. I just went "oh, let's do a river and some mountains!".

    Hard to decide which one's better! I like the overall tone of the first one, but the second one has perfectly delineated the buildings, which honestly I did not notice in the first picture. Keep on the good work!

    This is cool BD. I think I'd go for the color one as well just because it pops more but the monochrome one looks fantastic too.

    My vote's for the color one also. I can't really say anything that all these other kind folks haven't already said, so I'll just leave this here:

    You gave me a mapgasm.
