    Fair warning Jake, the contest ends on 6/10 which is Wednesday. The lite contests have been scheduled to go from half-month to half-month so as not to interfere with the big boys' and girls' contest. If you won't be ready by 6/10, probably better to hold off and pull the trigger on the June/July contest.

    Now, that's what I call a nice map! It's like I am looking at Google Earth. Your coast, water and mountains are spectacular.
    Like you I regret the size... it would have been very cool to be able to zoom in.

    Can you share some information about how you created this map?

    Unfortunately I cannot rep you as I need to spread my rep around first.

    Those forests totally rock. You have monastery spelled wrong though swap the e and a.

    I got your back, Gandwarf. Rep'ed for a beautiful map.

    The river is pretty wide, I'd argue - unless it's a strait, of course... Or The Grey Mountains are kinda smallish. What's the scale here?

    Yeah, I'd like to know how its done too. Did you lay the mountains and labels down on a satellite image? The water colors, in particular around the coastline, look exactly like a satellite image. The forests look a bit like satellite images too, but its mostly the water.

    The process is as follows.

    Create a terrain in terragen
    Use terrain in vue add base textures lighting and trees
    then photoshop
    then some more photoshop
    Here is the image just after vue stage

    and here again midway through photoshop
