My first map! - made in photoshop (Tutorial in post)

So.. I just grew tired of not being able to illustrate fantastic landscapes, for your own campaign setting, without it looking like an error from microsoft paint. I am a little familiar with photoshop, so I decided to look up a tutorial on youtube, and the outcome of the 45 minutes of instructions and hints, really surprised me :). -Btw I do not have a drawing tablet. Only used my trusty mouse, and sweet tools in photoshop cs6. (I just made some random names real quick, just in order to get a preview). I wanted to make a continent, placed anywhere in the ocean really, and made it from blue scratch background to this.. in "just" about 6 hours. So this was the outcome of those 6 hours. It still needs some polishing in order to be ready for a campaign (like borders, area and city names etc.). Sharing this selfmade map with other people, really get's you in the mood for DM'ing, compared to finding a map on the internet, and staying true to it's catagrophy. Anyway.. thought I would share the tutorial that helped me with this, just in case anyone was interested. Tutorial here (Tutorial by Jessica Khoury, no rights reserved) I think any newbie could make a well made map, after dedicating a day's time in photoshop, after watching this tutorial. Anyway.. Hope to hear your thoughts, and hopefully someone might find this helpfull.
I really like the look of it! Great job. Am I crazy, or is there a slight tilt to 'The hollowed lands'?
Thanks ! Hehe there is, got a little angle to it :)
Great job!
