First map - Help
Hello people! I'm kinda new here... ^^ (registered a little time ago)
Well, i'll go direct to the point. I'm creating a RPG scenario, of Medieval Fantasy, with a bit of dread, to play in the internet, in a brazillian program of RPG (I'm Brazillian... =P). And, i've created a map, of the scenario. But... It's my first time, and I need a bit of help, to make it.
This scenario has:
- a great abyss, that destroyed a large part of the continent of the scenario, with a small floating island in the middle of the Abyss.
- An Land, where the "life" didn't reached, in the extreme north/south.
- A land of desert, in the south
And so for. And I need help to create that in the scenario. I use Photoshop 7.0.1. In that moment, I just have an free-hand drawing of the map.

Thx for reading that, and awaiting for a little help. Thx! o/

I agree, the landmass does look good. Since you have the image scanned in, a way to "convert" it to Photoshop friendly is to use the picture as a background layer and "trace" over it on a new layer using the PS brush tool. Once you have it traced out in a digital file, you can remove the scanned image and start from there.
Yes, I'm colorblind. But my pink fields and orange forests are avant garde!!
Thx for the hint, Joshua. I did that, and became very good... ^^
I've found one tutorial, that I liked it, but I Want to make an texture that looks like an Scroll.
Then, I will ask to you, how can I make it?
P.S.: When I Finish the map, without the texture, I will post him again... ^^
