Herwin Wielink style map
I decided to bite the bullet and grab CC3+ a few days ago. This is my first (and possibly last) attempt at the Wielink style. I needed an improved reference map for a novel I'm writing, and I got a bit carried away.
Unfortunately there's a chunk of desert in the bottom corner which looks kind of crummy.

Otherwise is a promising map. Carry it on!
Welcome to the Profantasy Forum
I've already commented on this map over at the Guild ('Loopysue', aka 'Mouse'), so you already know that I think this is an excellent first map,
Well done
As a matter of curiosity, did you encounter problems making your map, and that's why its 'probably your last'? Or is it that you just wanted to do this one map really badly, and then its the writing to sort out?
For the desert, you might try adjusting the scaling of the fill (left click on the "FS" box at the top right of your CC3+ screen, select the appropriate Bitmap Style from the drop down list, and change the "Scaled Width" and "Height" parameters; it'll need some trial and error to see what, if anything, works better in this regard). Or you could add some additional symbol features, such as dunes, or some of the "reef" symbols from the "Coast/Sea" symbol options - they'll work as small rocky outcrops on the desert fill - to make it look a little more "real".
Unfortunately that doesn't solve the ugliness around the bay to its north, where the coast meets the mountains. The latter, mostly.
