Hello,
this is my first experience with GIMP and cartography in general. I'm trying to do a map for the videogame "Dominions 4" by Illwinter. I'm using the awesome Gidde's "Hand Draw Map Tutorial" and Gidde's brushes.

While I'm not entirely satisfied by some elements placement (it's too "crowded" of hills and mountains), I'm learning a lot from the tutorial. I've never used an image manipulation program before and I'm trying to understand the basic concepts (layers, alpha channel, etc).
I want to thank Gidde for his tutorial, it is really precious for beginners.
