[Award Winner] Using GIMP to Create an Artistic Regional RPG Map

[Karro]

sweet thanks. however, upon further readings of this tutorial i realized its inadequate for my purposes. You said yourself that your Gimp tuts dont work for making whole continents. could you be kind enough to point me to a Gimp tut that can show me how to make a geographical/political continent plz?

I don't know that there's a full-on, GIMP Continent tutorial currently posted here. However, my advice would be: run through RobA's regional map tutorial once on a practice map, and you should learn enough about how GIMP works that you can adapt the skills developed to creating a continent map yourself. That's actually what I did... so that my still-under-construction world map is about 80% RobA GIMP tutorial and 20% original tinkering to get the effects I want.
