Reply With QuoteI really like the burnt look, and the coast line decorations are very nice, but it's a bit obvious how some mountain brushes are used more than once - at times, right next to each other. Maybe vary the size, at least?
Untitled Island Continent WIP
So been up all night working on this. Used Ascension's tutorial with a bunch of modifications.
Big thanks to Coyotemax who has been giving me tips and pointers on MSN
Things left to do, but I am tired now.
Thoughts?

I like it. The decorations in the left-hand corners go quite nicely.
But I have to agree with Alfar about varying the mountain symbols a bit more.

"Untitled"? Looks a mite like Antarctica, to me poor untrained eye

Okay here is the latest update.
Need to add cities and towns, but otherwise it is mostly done.
• I changed up the mountains
• Added some forest
• Tweaked swamps
• Chopped open the inner sea
• Changed font
• Added plaque with scale
• Adjusted the desert
• Felt a sense of accomplishment
Thoughts?

I think the mountains are much better now, a better 'mix' of the individual shapes.

Thanks.
Oh and a question for the River Police.
Between Country One and Two there is a swamp. Originally I had it as a river/channel that was actually a floodplain.
I took the river marker out as I fear the River Police... but now I am regretting it.
Any thoughts on how I could do it without it being a glaring violation?
Also a note for everyone, this is my "give something back" map, which I will be posting at the two rpg boards I frequent (Troll Lord Games and Goblinoid Games) and offering it up for anyone who needs a world map for a Fantasy campaign world
Much like this place, those two places are just full of nice folks

Make it a tidal salt marsh: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_marsh
Or if you wanted to be more agressive, a tidal plane with a massive tidal bore

Well that's sort of the idea I am going for.Originally Posted by RobA

Between the two it is mostly salt marsh, but sometimes it floods and ships can actually navigate a channel through it.
The question is any thoughts on how to represent that on a map?
