It's obviously a WIP, it's my very first attempt at a map, and I'm looking for some feedback.
Should I make it wider? Taller?
CC is appreciated.
To do:
1. Add some underground stuff to the left-most part of the map
2. Add buildings above ground
3. Add color
4. Add Shading
5. Add fine detail

Do you like the magma shading? It kind of looks awkward to me.
i like the lava shading but the black lines ruin it for the whol picture als0o you want more of a grey brown
I removed the black lines and wow it looks a lot better thanks for the tip.

Maybe I should add clouds, I have no idea how to draw them, though.

And some trees.
see what i mean? all i can say now is try to work on that mountian! its tooo......round... but any ways a good start for a map!
Thanks for the help :buddy:
no problem! i always like helping a newbie out!
you want to make the mountian more jagged
none of it looks natural at all
the mountain looks like a giant smooth stone that fell out of the sky
the tunnels are oddly shaped and the entrances need work-also brown tunnel in a rock?
make the ground more jagged, add grass and make it more nature-esque or something
just looks too curvy to me
and the buildings look bad too
It seems like you were thinking more of setting than of gameplay or aesthetics.
First create a more gameplay orientated tunnel system, at the moment it seems more like a link between the areas than the battle zone it wull no doubt become. Make sure units will fit into the caves, make them far less curvy and add something to the right hand side, either a tunnel system or another large base. With these improvements it could be a great map, your colouring is perfect and the general feel of the map is quite good, with more practice this could be rather nice.
In addition add more detail to the terrain like so:

The surface looks too much like it was drawn in one swift pencil tool movement.

Yeah after 09 it got lax... but people still don't like it when you have bad grammar.
Besides, typing well with grammar is a good habit.
i was being sarcastic btw
Honestly, I miss smartness.
