Thanks. I'm definitely going to look into that. Currently I'm using some mountain brushes ironmetal posted as part of his tut on hand-drawn mountains, but my plan is to eventually hand draw complete mountain ranges to scan in.Originally Posted by jfrazierjr

Did some more work on things, and tried out RobA's older tut on making old paper/parchment type stuff. I like the new look. I think I'm gonna blotch in up a bit more, then get back to work naming everything.

This looks really nice. The only thing , IMO, is that the ocean waves aren't jiving with the mountains right now. Not real sure about how to to fix that, maybe make the waves smaller, I dunno.

I would go back to the original pattern(I assume it was a tilable texture you made??) Put that on a layer below the land shape and then add a layer mask to mask out portions so they only show up in a few small splotches here and there.

I'm gonna work on making the texture (yeah, did some waves using the calligraphy tool in Inkscape, brought it into GIMP as a PNG and then cropped it to a square, did a Make Seamless map on it, and scaled it down to work well) look good, but take a look at this in the meantime. The waves are half size, hopefully they challenge the mountains less that way, and I had to duplicate the layer twice, making one a bit blurry, to make the waves a little more clear. I merged them down together, then set it to overlay mode and duplicated that.

Lookin very nice there, good job. I like the darker ocean, smaller waves and well, pretty much all of it
