    How do you make mountains like this? I've always wondered how people make such realistic looking terrain like that.

    Looks awesome!!

    Most people make a height map somehow and import it to photoshop. I use layer styles, textures and custom brushes. Look in the tutorial section for various techniques.

    I am not a lotr expert. There are some maps of the whole world. Don't know if they are official or not (anyone who does?). Otherwise I think its cool to be a cartographer and to interpret works- and maybe redraw or add stuff.

    Posting my mini-tutprial here again:

    Making a "Movie-like" golden title text

    gold_text.jpg

    I have a Swedish version of Photoshop but I do an educated guess on the English.
    Note: Many effects are resolution dependant and dependant on the size of the text! I have used a 70pt text. I always use CMYK documents but the tutorial work good on a RGB as well.

    1. USE 100% BLACK COLOR ON TEXT
    Use black color on your text.

    2. Select the text layer (advanced option: put all text layers in a layer group and add the layer style to the group)

    3. BEVEL AND EMBOSS
    Layer> Layer style > Bevel and emboss
    choose: Inner bevel (?)
    Choose: Chisel Hard (?)
    Bits: 250%
    Size: 20px
    Angle: 120
    Height: 40
    Highlight: 100% raster / white
    Shadow: 70% multiply /dark redbrown

    4. Then pick "texture" Choose: Gray granite (?)
    Scale 100%
    Depth: +25%

    5. COLOR OVERLAY
    Layer> Layer style > color overlay
    Pick " Color overlay": I used C:0 M:28 Y:96 K:0 (or RGB: R:255/G:190/B:30)

    6. SHADOW
    Layer> Layer style > Shadow
    The shadow: 100% multiply a very dark redbrown color.
    Size: 43 px
    Grain: 18%

    Time to leave this experiment behind for a while. Still quite far from satisfied.

    These are very interesting. What is the brush style you are using?
