Hello! I've been a long-time lurker, no-time maker of maps. Finally decided to give it a go using Ascension's Antique-Style Map tutorial. I've never used Photoshop before beyond some minor photography editing, so a lot of this was getting used to layers, masks, layer styles, etc. Overall I'm fairly happy with the outcome given it is my first attempt. I have a lot to learn, and keep in mind that this map was generated without any specific story in mind. All names are randomly picked from a name generator, and the geography is all random and likely makes no sense in terms of realism. I am certainly open to criticism and advice, and I can't wait to get started on my next one as I had such a good time doing this one!
