    Default The Five Seas

    Been doing a lot of top down drawings, so I wanted to get back to a few perspective maps. Based it off of a real location, you can probably figure it out.

    Nice job ! I really like the color transitions and the shading, especially on the north-east coast, it gives depth to the coastline.

    That's awesome snodsy
    I love it. It's a great color scheme.
    And a very interesting take on the region.
    Any story to go with this?

    Edit - darn, must spread rep.

    Snodsy... you are the king of the colour sphere. That is just so well under control, its cool even from a distance

    EDIT: The transition of the land is just so beautiful it looks like satin or silk.

    Thanks guys for the comments and reps really appreciate it! Mouse - there are about 6 layers in Photoshop to the background - parchment, green/yellow/Browns/ painted in various areas at 20 percent/40 percent opacity, a fine textured stone pattern at 20 percent and a gradient color with 5 colors , all these at different opacities that I labor over again and again to get right - so it's nice when I get comment that seem to say it pays off😀 Thanks

    Once again, snodsy... You've outdone yourself. This is just lovely. My favorite phrase...understated elegance. That's what this map makes me think of.
    Like a thief in the night
    she comes with no form
    yet tranquility proceeds
    the accursed storm...

    I can see that I'm going to have to sit myself down and teach myself how to use GIMP!

    I'm a shoestring Cartographer Snodsy, and paying monthly for a piece of software that's just as expensive as my car insurance is waaaaaaay out of my range of affordability

    Anyway - I thought GIMP was supposed to be the closest alternative to Photoshop. Would you happen to know a better one?

    I know what you mean, luckily I have photoshop 6 and haven't upgraded my system in a while, so I'm don't pay monthly, hopefully I can keep this setup for a while longer, but I'm sure at some point some issue will make me upgrade and I'll cringe every month
