So I set out to redo my original map I was creating for my Pathfinder group that I DM for in photoshop. I just started today about an hour ago. This is my current process. I decided against the mountains of my original tact and to go with more of a top down view of the mountains which are actually turning out better then I thought they would be!

I'm still contemplating if I should designate a darker green for forests, or actually have a mark for it, though I do not know which will go better with the mountain style I have going.

I'm currently using Photoshop CS6 to work on this. My challenge to myself is to have this from start to finish done by tonight!

Heres a scaled down image. Currently working at 7k by 5k pixels at 300 DPI. Planning on printing this out. Any comments, suggestions or critiques?

Also I wanted to thank torstan for the great tutorials! (Fan of torstan maps)
