yea ik my maps can be empty somtimes but latter on i tend to fill them in with something.. i mean look at most of the actual pokemon maps those are almost all empty somepoints
I think I understand why people said it now. Your maps, whilst are your style, just lack that special something. You see, what you've done is a first step into a true mapping style, and this step everyone does. Maps that are slightly empty, with squareness, which some people look at and instantly find uninteresting.
