I have the honor to present you the new map(only big and 888) with all your notices and suggestions.

I hope that it will pass this ordeal.

Lancelot could become Arthur

Looks cool.

My only nitpicks for now:

rigid borders along the coast (mostly in the Pas de Calais area)
similar angular borders in the Paris inset at the top right

Nord Pas de Calais Coast looks that way

It's an odd shape, I'll concede, but not quite that angular I feel.
But no big deal, I suppose.

The shadows from the mountains are on the side. They need to go on the left side of the mountains. I really like the shadow you have on these:

A tad darker, and moved to the opposite side and it will be perfect. Do the shadow like these on all the mountains, and then we should be able to get this moved on up, unless of course someone finds something else that needs to be done.

All shadows should by rights go in the same direction! The shadow that really works is next to Savoie, but it is on the wrong side. Make the rest like this but toned down like Alsace and you might have a winner IMO.

That's why now the shadows are on right side. No updates for side's shadows.

But shadows on the light side of the mountains are wrong. They need to go on the dark side.

Thank you for telling me now

So, if I understand, I move all shadows on the left side?

by **koontz1973** on Wed Feb 20, 2013 8:30 am

That would be better than re doing all mountains. But yes, dark = shadow.

by **Lancelot du Lac** on Wed Feb 20, 2013 8:40 am

In odre I drew:

- The shadows on the left side
- Then the shadows on the right side
- And now the shadows again on the left side
- Next step?

could you redone the delta of Loire?
and maybe kick off black frame of Paris inset.

Forget redoing the delta of Loire, no reason can be found for having to redo that. As for the black frame, that will be up to you. Map makers prerogative if you like.
