You're quite right, although trees don't grow where rivers are, as such. Rather both trees and rivers tend to end up in areas of high rainfall. Water...

Another consideration with rivers is prevailing wind and precipitation. Generally speaking weather systems will come off the ocean carrying large...

Hi Pat, Welcome to the guild! I am sure you will find many here who may be eager to help in any future endeavour. -Viking

I appreciate the links. I've looked through them (and read most of it just now). It seems to me the main reason I'm not loving the swamps is that...

Hmm, if you want a more hand drawn looking map (old style), this is a good small tip on how to make a swamp (which I particulary like a lot), also,...

Another one! I bet you guys are tired of me already xD The only signficant change are the Heralds, what you guys think? Also thank you all guys...

I believe that the setting you have should be okay as long as you realize that the map will be 8 inches x 8 inches if printed out 1:1. As long as it...

When I have time, one of my projects would be doing a proper tutorial on my process of mapmaking. I am sure that would be fun.

Basicly what Chashio said is waht I said severl times already. The alignment of the map to the Text dont make much sense for me, and I would just...

Would not the brothels, gambling dens and taverns all be served by the same locations, and I would also assume that there would be quite a few of...

I hope I'm crazy enough for 2400x2400px :) And the res is 300 px per inch. Are these settings ok? I tried to make a hi-res coastline, but it seems...

I'm the other way around, Photoshop is my main and GIMP is my redheaded stepchild (joke, I'm a redhead). Cant wait to see what you make!

Yes indeed, welcome to the Guild and the Challenge! Nice start on your map.

FREAKING BRILLIANT! I took your TUT and applied it to my WIP and it came out good enough for a first try! Thanks!

I've followed this tutorial, I might be somewhat of a novice map maker but this is a wonderful addition. Though for me It will take some tweaking for...

Found a really nice old world "wood stamp"? water TUT.... I like it.:) Does anyone know where to find a better "Old World" water texture?

I must say this is working wonders for me.

I can't wait to see this advance, I'm sure it will look great! And a question, in what document size are you making this?

Outstanding! I love the simpleness and cleanliness of the composition! Keep up!
