Reply With Quotenice map, Steel! Looks a lot less like a multi-colored balloon than my initial drawing...
Agraan - Just something I whipped up
OK, so I had a REALLY slow day at work and had some time to play. Not exactly the style you were looking for. But at least this way you can see how I tend to make my maps.

nice map, Steel! Looks a lot less like a multi-colored balloon than my initial drawing...
Thanks... It's not to bad for a couple of hours work, the technique I used for the mountains still needs a bit of fine-tuning, and the oceans could use some work. But overall I'm happy with the way it came out.

It's good to see you evolving your style, bro. The mtns look pretty good and the grass seems to have a bit more of something than the usual "bison" grass, maybe it's some noise, not sure. The font looks really nice for this as well.

Ok here is the first draft/update. Lots to do, lots to change. The regions will be redone with a more "grassy" texture, and the sand in the desert will be punched up. I just sprayed the continenet with trees and will delete and trim from the mass cover. Really the only thing "done" is the mountains...
Coming along nicely Lathorien...

OK, since I've sort of taken over this from Lathorien when his PC took a dump.
I've moved any future updates to THIS thread in the WIP forum.
