Another quick update. It's coming along, I think, though I need to get back to Rav's tutorial...

You don't have to get back to my tutorial...I think that your latest post looks way better and more individual than a Bryce conversion.
I would have to agree with Ravells, there is something about the last image that catches the eye more than the others, perhaps the fact I grew up watching Gilligans Island so my brain "knows" coast lines need shallows and waves and the lines along the landmass in the last work quite well at conveying both.

I think I like the former one a bit more. With the color scheme (which I REALLY like btw), I would think that a lite woodblock effect might blend in better along the coast. The bevel is nice though.

I appreciate the feedback. I guess the trees are the next thing.
I'm not too familiar with technical terms, but if you mean what I think you do by a woodblock effect, that's originally what I was going for--turns out I just don't know how to do it, so this was the next best thing.Originally Posted by jfrazierjr

I think this is for Photoshop, but I expect its easy enough to do in GIMP, though I have not tried it yet.

Later in the post you linked I show a way to do it in GIMP using the newsprint filter.

Here it is with the woodcutting.
I showed the map to my wife. She said it'd look really good when the mountains were done. I thought they were done, but to make her happy I played with them a bit as well.
She was right, of course...
This looks so good! Reminds me of those sepia maps you can buy that come in those little red covers - do you know tha ones I mean?
