Haha This project is going nowhere. Though this time i figured i do a revamp of the old map and make it a bit more realistic. Starting over in other words. Hopefully this will give me motivation to continue!

After having worked myself to death with the old semi isometric/3D map ONCE again, starting with the mountains:

I gave up. Didnt take me anywhere. Probably because i was trying to do things that are too difficult.

Im thinking of what kind of style my map should have. I am truly a photoshop noob but i do what i can. With my old paint picture i experimented with this computer generated kind of thing:

But that didnt take me anywhere either as far as having an overview of the world. I wanted something more realistic and detailed. Well you know the deal, i'll come back in a few months and see what i bring! If you have any feedback or suggestions, go ahead.

Bah! I need help. Not sure how i should go about making these mountains i've tried several styles with colors and contours. But then again maybe the problem lies in that i don't know what style im aiming for! If you guys know any good speculations regarding how to make mountains please tell me. I've been spending these last days looking at how to draw mountains on here, but nothing quite suits my need yet.
