Antique-Style Maps in Gimp

[dworldjumper]

I Love this tutorial...I have recommended to at least one person and I have a Meetup on Meetup.com...and I will post a link to this tutorial so everyone can benefit from this thanks. The only real problem I see with this tutorial is the need to keep up with the changes in Gimp that affect your tutorial and adjust accordingly...to keep your tutorial relevant for the program. Thanks again great work you did Candacis

This is my first completed map using Gimp, my second attempt using this tutorial. Computer crashed three-quarters of the way through the first one - and I forgot to save. There are several things I still need to work on and there are a couple of parts I know I missed. Thank you very much for the tutorials, I definitely appreciate it. There isn't a compass Rose, because I haven't figured out how to make one. The mountains are from Deviant Art.Map2.jpg

This was super useful, it took two days to get the result I wanted but it was really worth it in the end. It ended up being very useful for learning more about GIMP as well!
Heres my finished piece if anyone is interested. I didn't use the colour section of this as I wanted a more tradtional feel I guess.
