    Post The Steel Remains

    Turns out the map I did for the competition didn't quite (actually by a long way) match up to the Author's vision of the world. I've been re-doing it with his input over this week and this is either the final (or near final) result. Strangely enough I was in the process of writitng a tutorial about how to make maps like these (it's pretty much non-destructive, so really easy to edit which is very handy in situations like these when changes have to be made). Once I've finished the map, I'll finish the tutorial and post it.

    Cheers

    Ravs

    That's absolutely beautiful. Well done.

    Any chance of knocking the coastlines down from pure black? They're the only black on the map and they stand out a little - though perhaps that's a very good thing.

    It's a stunning style and the font choice is spot on. Great stuff! Please accept my inaugural use of my three spots of rep!

    I quite like the boldness of the coastlines.
    Is it just me, or does anyone else see a phallic peninsula?

    Only because you mentioned it.

    Mountains are really quite great and the colors are awesome. I rather like the black coastlines, though I kind of wish the forests were textured a bit more.

    Funny you should say that, overlordchuck...my wife said exaclty the same thing about 20 mins ago and I'm working on them now! I'll make the coastline a little lighter...thanks torstan, I didn't spot that one. Heh Ian...it's that sort of book.
