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

[RobA]

The key to representing anything on this type of map is in getting a good height field. I'd suggest a gradient with a profile like:

  _
 / \      _
    \___/

And create a radial gradient with it use a layer of noise as a displacement map source and displace using the radial option. Then add a bit 'o noise on top.

Bump map that and colour it in. Not near a computer so I can't whip up a sample. May be someone can based on my sketchy instructions.

Huh? I think I need to see a visual to understand the application of that morphed hex type thingy.
