First off, welcome to the Guild IrmaZwart! As to the map, very interesting blend of styles you've got. Combining painting (and pencil work) with textures is not something that most people can pull off well - it usually ends up looking sort of odd. I think the grass texture could work though. The mountains seem a bit ethereal to me. They could use a bit more solid color and contrast. Off to a good start though.
Cheers,

thunderdragons - that sounds interesting!Do they breathe fire?
so it sounds like a somewhat classical fantasy world? Nice!
hmm as for the language: it always helps to have actual text to translate, that gives you one problem at a time and then you can use the things from that text for the next one when the next things come up.
haha thanks!
as for you still creating the world: I have bad news, that never stops!just six months ago I completely shredded some of the very basics of my world...
And that's with great detail like "A COMPASS tells you which direction is north!"
Nope, Thunderdragons bring great storms with them. The dragons are huge, and always surrounded with lightning bolts
Most of the time they live high up in the mountains, but when they pay a village a visit, everything gets destroyed, no firebreath is needed
Yep, very classical fantasy world
I'll give it a try, it's worth it I think
That's true actually yes, it never stops, that's also quite fun! But I'm not as far as you with creating my world
Hi Arsheesh! Thank you so much
Well yeah i just started drawing and putted some effects with ps, and it worked out quite nice.
As for the moutnains, you're absolutely right, and then to think that I wanted to make even more of them, it's so hard to make realistic mountains.
I already removed the snowy mountains and am now trying to make them again, but more in a "line".
Your maps are amazing! How did you learn that all?
Torstan has some good tutorials for hand drawings mountains that may be of use to you in the thread Assorted Tips and Tricks. Pretty much all I know about creating maps in a photorealistic style came from a combination of scouring tutorials here and then my own trial and error. If you spend some time going through the tutorials section you'll find all sorts of helpful material here. I found Ascention and RobA's tutorials very useful when I first arrived at the Guild and since then quite a few other useful tutorials have been written. As to hand drawn stuff (what little of it I've done), I grew up sketching as a hobby, though I sort of let it slip in college and am now trying to get back into it.Originally Posted by IrmaZwart
