Our Main Focus: Map Making Discussions

Other Acceptable Posts Include:
Map Making Prompts: Feel free to post prompts that others can interpret through their unique artistic perspectives. Create maps inspired by these prompts and share your process!
User Requests: If you have a specific idea for a map but lack the skills to bring it to life, you can post your request here. Our talented community of artists may choose to fulfill them. Remember, this isn't a place for paid requests, and we reserve the right to revisit this policy if the number of requests becomes overwhelming.
Artist's 'Make a Request' Posts: Artists in our community can start a thread inviting others to make requests, which they can then attempt to fulfill. This keeps the requests contained and easy to follow. This section also doesn't cater to paid services, and the policy may change in the future.

I made this map using a heavy amount of inspiration from pre-Norman medieval England. I tried a new technique for mountain placement, forest placement, and rivers. I also am trying something new for place names. I'm looking for input on what people think!
It’s awesome!  Since you asked for feedback, I should mention that there are not a lot of settlements near the coast. Coastal locations, especially near river deltas, are very logical places to settle due to fishing and trade. Unless the ocean is barren the coast should be littered with little fishing villages and at least a few major ports.
