Well, if you are looking at buying a graphic tablet, we have this little thread that might help clarify things.

Good map, however there was no Great Britain in 1623. Scotland was still a sovereign nation at this time.

Meh, can't rep you at the moment :( Anyway, great job on this one. Your scan seems very clear, I wish I could get this on my hand made maps. Do...

Excellent map.

Nice small village :) Maybe a bit flat without that much textures but clear and nicely done

Hehe, indeed! Even the best sources I could find had unmapped parts of the HRE called "Lesser Imperial States". Not sure if this is what...

Thanks for the kind words. I plan on having a rough map drawn up this weekend that I will scan and upload onto the site. The problem I have though is...

Ah ok. Maybe your redraw process is worth tutorial-izing? Anyway, looking forward to the progress of this WIP.

Not necessarily (tropical rainforests on the equator). It depens on how your world-axis is tilted in realtion to the plane it travels around the sun....

I have to agree with Max. Not a fan of this forest style. Maybe it's just me but when i see it, i am thinking "shrubbery" more than "forest".

I don't know, how would you do that? To be clearer, this is the kind of effect (here on drop shadow) which I would like to get on the bevel/emboss...

so. i've kinda changed gears, i happened to test out the spine runtimes for c#, which is a different language than haxe, which is what i was...

I decided I was happy with how it looked, and have been playing with labeling. I'd love your thoughts, of course!

thats actually a good question that im sure most of us here could benefit from knowing the answer to. unfortunately i cant help :p hope someone...

I'll agree with -Max-, now that I looked more carefully at it, the forests do seem a bit odd when trying to fit with the mountains. They are very...

Scarow, as Simon explained you need to add objects to maps manually - there is no automatic programme or script that can do it for you. However...

What do you think of smth like this? (I've got 2 variants...) Is the coastline ok? Should I improve the colors and textures somehow?

Inspiring thread! Since you decided to move away from the real world shape I couldn't help my self but to make my own map of Ancient Greece....

Hello! Well, creating battlemaps in GIMP is pretty much all I do here... And I get plenty of great advices from talented posters like Jacktannery....

:/ Hmm not really convinced by those ones. The painting style is nice but I don't know maybe it's the light/shades work but they look a bit odd to my...
