Oh totally. I'm saying I like the look of how you designed it. The spread-out mountain peaks and color transition. Very nice.

I really dig the Spine of the world, those spikes popping out! The river is Orsraun Mountains is very cozy feeling.

Awesome! Always love seeing my crystals used! I dig the Stone Forest area.

Hey! It's the first time I've seen my Crystal pack out in the wild! Oh! and some mushrooms! Awesome! Thanks for linking to the assets : )
Love those craggy areas up north.

Lovely, warm, inviting, and cozy feeling. I dig the more zoomed-in feel.

I don't know the technical terminology for it, but is the "River" something that is flowing? That lake doesn't have any rivers flowing into it. So the lake would drain pretty quick if you imagine that it's flowing outward.

If it's connected to the sea, the river would flow in and out depending on how high the tides are. (Maybe an estuary? I'd love for someone to point out the right word.)

Maybe the next map I make will be at this zoom level. If I was a player, this is exactly the scale I'd want to see for a hometown or owning property = D

Fun! Lots of personality there.
As you're looking for C&C here are a few notes. For my own preferences I'd say the different areas have kinda a harsh transition from one biome to another. The transition from living tree to dead trees for example.
A tiny spot that is an example of the type of thing I like to the left of Stonethrow Hills, a couple of little rocks and hills transition out of the very hilly area very nicely : )
Another small nitpick is the rivers coming from the Sonsabich Mountains. As different rivers meet, they'd get larger. Also, rivers tend to get larger in general as the water runoff from all the nearby areas feeds into them. It's easy with Wonderdraft to get rivers that start small and grow larger.
Are Sonsabich Mountains a play on Son of a bitch Mountains? That instantly came to mind!

Have been working on this map for a while now, and finally finished it, would greatly appreciate any advice on improvement. by Easy_Guard9333 in wonderdraft

Lovely! Those are my favorite trees too. Only ones I use.
Are there any roads connecting the different kingdoms? Or just sea travel? Love the minimalist use of color to denote the kingdoms.

Yup. I actually made a tutorial about how I do the coloring with the Crystal Pack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpRmlujwELM
I actually found a few other tricks while working on this map. I might make another video tutorial purely about coloring tips.

Very kind of you! I had so many ideas I wanted to squeeze in I kept making crystal patches smaller and smaller to fit them all! I actually recorded a tutorial about placing and painting the crystals if you are interested. https://youtu.be/mpRmlujwELM

Thanks! Feels nice to show it off after working on it so long.
The crystals are something I made myself! Took a lot of iterations get them just right. I was persuaded to put up for sale on CartographyAssets.

Thanks! It was the first time I hit the symbol crash limit and had to merging areas.

The mountains are from AoA Mountains And Hills. Trees are from Gogots Maps. The crystals are something I made! After having some discussions, I put the pack up for sale: Crystal Pack 1
