I think it's quite well-drawn really- of course you can work on your art skills, but that goes for everyone.
I like the style you used, coloring it and detailing it so well, I have trouble with that. 
I also like the names you used.

Apologies if this isn't where the pictures go... I thought it would be where I would put it, but I wasn't completely sure. One thing before I post links: yes, I'm aware that I'm the worst teenage artist ever, and I'm aware that my handwriting sucks. XD That said, here are the links: http://i49.tinypic.com/eafwp4.jpg (that's a picture of the whole map) http://i48.tinypic.com/34dod2t.jpg (that's a picture of... the legend, I think it's called? Y'know, the code that says what color each terrain is in?) http://i49.tinypic.com/eafwp4.jpg (a close-up of the continents, excluding the compass and the legend) http://i47.tinypic.com/21agton.jpg (a close-up of the Eastern continent) http://i45.tinypic.com/j81ocl.jpg (a close-up of the Western continent) http://i50.tinypic.com/2ldawyb.jpg (a close-up of the Southern continent) http://i47.tinypic.com/9tjxaa.jpg (the title-thingy-whatchamacallit) And there you have it! ^.^ A word about two of the countries; Setay and Mysticalia (if you can even read my horrid handwriting): There are other words inside the country that indicate realms. For instance, the different colored spaces in Setay (the Southern continent) are kind of like realms--they're actually gateways to other worlds. Nuvolo; Vahalla; Fuegoso; Sombro; Erkalteng; Brise; and Acqua. Fuegoso's area is red because it's a land of fire, whereas Erkalteng's is dark blue because it's a frozen wasteland, and etcetera. Any comments are appreciated. ^^ Criticism shouldn't dishearten me, since I'm already aware that it's a badly-drawn map. XD |

You don't have horrid handwriting, Renna.  In my opinion it's very pretty. I adore the names you have chosen, they're very eye catching I think. You have obviously taken time over your maps, and that's all that matters. I am hopeless at creating any sort of map; so I commend you for putting your effort into it. Well done.

Thanks, guys. Yeah, some of the names I made up, and others I got from other languages. And I also got a few from the wine section in my store. Nobody in my family drinks, but one day me and my brother discovered that a lot of wines have extremely epic names. XD Also, a note: "Siner Lake" was supposed to be "Siner Bay". I have NO IDEA how I managed to write lake instead of bay. XP |

Names from wine bottles...now there's an idea. Renna the Gray wrote: Also, a note: "Siner Lake" was supposed to be "Siner Bay". I have NO IDEA how I managed to write lake instead of bay. XP I've done that more than once, which is why I usually draw in pencil and then color the lines over with permanent marker. I've still mixed names up and there's really no way to fix it. I even accidentally put the same name on one of my maps TWICE! XD That one was kind of hard to get around. |

That's a good idea, actually--I should do that the next time I draw up a map. XD |

I love your map, Renna dear! I love the names you chose (and how you chose them, too). I think it is a very fine map.
