[Region 1][Map 25] - The Witchlight Strand

[industrygothica]

Yep, I know I owe you part two on that tutorial - been working on the june zine, but now you're back I'll have a stab at finishing it tonight.

Welcome back!

Cheers

Great. Don't rush yourself though--I'm in no hurry.

Hi, here are the next two panels. More to come.

Seems rpgmapmaker's custom mountain brushes got me off my rear and back into this project.

Now my only dilemma is which one to continue with... This one is obviously nowhere near finished, but I think I like where it's going... if I can only get there.

I'll take any advice you've got, but keep in mind that this is really my first world map, so be gentle.

Just playing with styles a bit...

Another quick update. It's coming along, I think, though I need to get back to Rav's tutorial...

[ravells]

You don't have to get back to my tutorial...I think that your latest post looks way better and more individual than a Bryce conversion.

I would have to agree with Ravells, there is something about the last image that catches the eye more than the others, perhaps the fact I grew up watching Gilligans Island so my brain "knows" coast lines need shallows and waves and the lines along the landmass in the last work quite well at conveying both.

I think I like the former one a bit more. With the color scheme (which I REALLY like btw), I would think that a lite woodblock effect might blend in better along the coast. The bevel is nice though.

I appreciate the feedback. I guess the trees are the next thing.

I'm not too familiar with technical terms, but if you mean what I think you do by a woodblock effect, that's originally what I was going for--turns out I just don't know how to do it, so this was the next best thing.

I think this is for Photoshop, but I expect its easy enough to do in GIMP, though I have not tried it yet.
