My tutorials: Using GIMP to Create an Artistic Regional Map ~ All My Tutorials

My Maps: Finished Maps ~ Challenge Entries ~ My Portfolio: www.cartocopia.com
Please do, Rob, that would be great! Thanks!
Episode 4 is now ready!
Episode 4 is finally ready! In this episode, we learn a trick to add some variety to our forest pattern so the tiling effect is obscured. We also learn to make a tree trunk brush pipe in Gimp, and use it to add trunks to our forested areas.
I seem to be having some trouble uploading the file, so I will upload the actual PDF later this evening. Thanks to everyone who has been monitoring this thread, and who has downloaded previous episodes. I plan to continue updating, and should be able to do so fairly quickly until mid-August--but as school starts for me at that time, they may slow down again.
Check back later tonight to get the new PDF!
Edit: Here is the file.

Well, I joined just for these tutorials, and I think they're fantastic. Thank you!
I like the tutorial, too.
Hey everyone...Life got in the way again, I didn't get as far as I would have liked last summer while school was out. However, I'm hoping to get some more episodes done this month. Stay tuned, thanks for your praise and I'm glad you've found them helpful. Kudos to ZombieButch for the original videos, too.

Awesome guide for those of us too poor to afford Photoshop, keep it up!

Fantasy Cartography Adapted to Gimp, Episode 5
I have finished the written tutorial for Episode 5. This episode talks a lot about colors. Due to the fact that Gimp does not have the same selection of palettes/swatches that Photoshop does, I found a color chart for the FOCOLTONE colors and created a custom palette in Gimp for those colors. I also created an approximation of the Pantone colors in a custom palette, which is also included. Here are the palettes:

And here is the tutorial PDF. Thanks so much for reading and using the tutorials. Enjoy!

Just wanted to let readers know that I am in the middle of doing Episode 6, but I am mostly working on this during the weekends as I am focusing on other job-related projects during the week. So stay tuned, I should be posting Episode 6 and possibly Episode 7 at the end of the week.
