Tell me what you think. Its awesome IMO. Tell me what I should change etc.

Default Outer Glow on text look shit. Either don't use an effect, or use on that looks alright.

Alright, new text effects. What do you think now?

Its sexy, but hard to read text

it reminds me of milli's old one

can you show us how you made it?

theres way to many islands above the desert

I don't like the mountains, hey don't tapir out at all, it's like they're tubes laying around.

Made mountains a bit sharper. What do you think?

It depends on how geologically consistent you want your world to be. snowy regions should be near north and south poles due to icecaps, deserts and tropics belong closer to the equator, mountain ranges should look natural, all rivers flow down from mountains. However, if you want to explain away inconsistencies (astronomical events creating impact sites at odd places, magic reversing flow of rivers, or technology redistributing weather) then go for anything you like. as far as the way it looks, it looks just fine, but like I said, not too geologically consistent.

It's a realm with Magic, monsters, etc. It doesn't have to be consistent with anything. It's fantasy.

and I didn't say that how?

Ocean is just one colour? I suggest making it lighter near the land and darker father out, like a fade to it, also add some texture to it

Take the shadow density up to 12 on the text, it'll make it a lot more visible :]

Other than that I quite like it. The mountains could do with a bit of work, but other than that, a lot better than what I could do, and I'm not one to criticise anything that I can't do myself ^_^

Updated.

Anarchy, I listened to you and added texture to the water. It looks shit IMO

Opinions?

looks alot better, but the water just dont look like water

Yeah it looks a little better, but the water has a repetitive look.

how you guys do those maps? is there some kinda specific tutorial or is it just learning?

Nice map, I'd use it in a game.

The small range of mountains in the north of the Bloodpine province would make a good single mountain, it's got that pointy sort of 'mountain' look about it.

Well, this was just a test, going to make it over later on.
