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.
i'll get back to ya

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😀 ThanksOriginally Posted by Mouse

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.

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

Not gimp photoshop
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 monthI'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
