Welcome aboard and have fun exploring.
I am Crim and I found my way here after finding the Photoshop Cartography #1 - Mountain brushes tutorial on youtube while searching for cartography photoshop brushes. My interest in cartography is threefold; I am a D&D DM for mostly 3.5, I role play via post-by-post forums and am currently constructing a new world that is in need of a map, and I am also an aspiring fantasy writer who may just need a good cartographer if she ever gets anything published and who better then the one who knows her worlds bestNormally I do my mapping by hand but I'm wanting to get into doing them digitally hopefully to save time and achieve a cleaner look. In addition to Photoshop CS3 I've also got Campaign Cartographer and have been attempting to use it but decided to switch to photoshop simply because I feel more comfortable for it and I feel it will allow me much more freedom. Still haven't had a chance to look around... about to do that now actually

ThanksI must say this site and it's tutorials are absolutely amazing. After finding Pasis' Rising up the mountains photoshop tutorial and after doing some of my own thing I came up with this:
There are a few other tutorials I want to try as well before I tackle my world map and now I must hunt down some decent textures, but I'm definitely pleased with the results only a few hours being here has made and I look forward to showing off my work later![]()
