[WIP-Regional Map] The Vandengarth Realms

[Schwarzkreuz]

Hi Guild, here is the first steps of my new personal map.
I need to be back into mapping so here is a little side map for experimenting.

For the start, I used some random claud brushes, than pushed the color treshold up.
On a low opacity, I used anothe rlayer to trace the lines while adding little touchups.

After the outlines are done, a series of wavelines fade into the backgraound.

Those wavelines are great! I never get mine this neat. Would you mind sharing your technique? I'd understand if you'd like to keep it a mystery, of course 😉

Just use the "convert selection to path" tool with proper settings and than autotrace outlines. I scipted an Photoshop action for this. Those Wavelines dont take more than 10 seconds

I tried to do the same once, but I ended up with almost straight lines, even fairly close to shore. Will have to give it another try then 😉

First of all, welcome back, SK! It's good to see you back on mapping.
Second of all...another map i "understood" wrong at the beginning...i thought that white is land and black water. Which in my opinion would have been at least as interesting a landshape Be that as it may, very much looking forward to see where you will go with this.

Dang, SK! I thought we were never gonna see you again! Glad to see you mapping again.

[ChickPea]

This is a nice start. Looking forward to seeing it develop.

PS the link in your sig is broken

[Ilanthar]

Great start SK! And glad to see you back, indeed!

Looks really nice, the amount of wave lines start to make it look somewhat dimensional, I kind of read them as topo lines, but I do like them.
