Fantastic Tutorial, Tear. Repped, rated and added to the 'quickstart' thread.
Absolutely Awesome!
This I absolutely awesome! I am astonished at finding this tutorial because I wanted you to make one and I even have your map set as my desktop as a perfect example of well crafted world map. To find this tutorial and see that care was taken with it, all I can say is thanks!
Thank you for all your comments. I really hope this tutorial is a contribution that will help some folks.
It's my first one though, so if you have any questions feel free to ask.
I'll be away for a few weeks, but if I don't answer by Christmas, you can be pretty sure my plane crashed.
I don't know much about Gimp, but from what I've read, the use of Layer Styles is a major difference. I used those extensively, so I hope you'll find a workaround.Originally Posted by Gidde
Thanks for giving it a try. To me it looks like you skipped some instructions, but I probably didn't explain them well enough.
Maybe it's because I was using a mouse. Opacity settings are a different matter using a tablet, at least to me.
Yes. You wanted me to make one. So if it's bad it's all your fault. :p
Just kidding. Thanks for pushing me.

I really appreciate this tutorial. It helped me a ton, I was actually able to make something that looked halfway decent. Thanks a ton man!
Post it.
If I'll ever do a tutorial again, I really want to know what worked and what didn't.

It's in my thread in Regional And World Mapping. I'd love to get some feedback from you.
Not sure what steps i might have skipped or misinterpreted, besides the river. you're right though, I find myself working with opacity/flow options more with the tablet in the last month or two than I ever have before. It's likely that a few of my typical habits made themselves known while I was working on a few things. That having been said - I learned a few new techniques to add to my methods, and in that respect your tutorial is 100% effective as a starting point for new ideas
(and even if it won't let me rep you yet, I did get to rate the thread at least!)

Thanks a bunch Tear. This looks like a great tut. I can't wait to put it into action.
Man, the people on this site continue to impress and amaze me.
Repped!
*edit: not repped yet; got to spread some love around first...
This site has a link to a plug-in for GIMP layer styles:
