Vorkosigan District, in the time of isolation

[sforster]

When I found the "Artistic maps in GIMP" I had to try it. It took a while to find ispiration for something other than a bit of brushing mountains across a page and giggling.

This is based on the Vorkosigan District from Los McMaster Bujold's book about Miles Vorkosigan. The native plants on this planet (Barayar) are brown and red (hence to background colour, the map may be drawn on a native papyrus type paper) and green plants are imported from Earth (which may explain why they look so regimented).

In the mountain, hill, and forest brushes I replicated the 'inconspicuous' shapes, like singe peak mountains, three or four time each in the brush to increases their probability of appearing on the map.

I've no idea if I've broken rules, violated convension or not followed recommendations because the "A guide to posting your maps can be found here." link on the quickstart page is broken. I tried to send a message to the adminitrator, but it failed presumably because of the new memeber limitation.
