First Battlemap for Playtesting - Field of Snow

I decided to work on a battlemap so I can playtest some of my NPCs and the Hyborian Age combat mechanics. Here's my first attempt at a Frazetta-like painting of an icy battlefield.


Features include Snow Drifts, Rock Protrusions, and an Icy Stream cutting through the middle.

I decided not to include a hex overlay, or a square grid, because I am going to encourage gridless combat. A scale is provided to show 30 ft, so movement in turns can be guessed at. The map is designed to be printed out on A4 paper. I'm having it laminated so I can track the battle using dry erase markers instead of icons.
