my first map and my first time using photoshop (not so bad at all!)

i tought was more difficult but with yours amazing tutorials i'm learning every day so many new things!!!
starting from pyrandon's tutorial on city maps this is my first finished work (thanks to the author of border map too)

it's a secret village where an important old man is hidden from years, i dont know if its easy to understand, the village is built inside rocks hidden from outside and if u look well, north and south ther's 2 secret roads :)

Somewhere in the tutorials forum there's a post by… RobA, I think, on making distressed parchment with Gimp. It's easily replicated in Photoshop. A big part of it is using a grunge brush to paint on a mask over your images to make them look like parts of the vellum have flaked away. Also, I'd suggest you give your ink a red-brown tint—not too much, just enough to make it ink rather than very finely-pointed graphite. Speaking of which, those images, while beautiful, may be a bit too finely detailed to be plausible as ink on parchment.
