Thread: WIP Selvarin - Fantasy map

No problem captive, glad you like it

I can't wait to see it finished! That really turns great, I really appreciate the level of details you put on this map (the great wall is lovely )

Reading through this thread, it astounds me how you just started in a corner and just filled in the details - and wonderful details, might I add. I need to figure out this rep thing, and give some.

Holy Jesus! This map is amazing, I really want to see it finished.

Thanks you much guys, for your kind comments appreciated. Glad you like the WIP
@ N8ey, yes I often use to start in a corner and then fill up or down the whole map. That's how I really feel building up the map For the rep, you need at least to have 30 posts before being able to spread some reputation around

the pale red icons - like the crossed swords or the circular thingies; are they just decoration (i doubt it) or do they represent battles, and um, other stuff? and if so will they be included in the key later on?

the trees - are the a pattern or a brush?

looking very pretty, as always

Thanks Vorropaiah the pale red symbols are supposed to remind the several boundaries between the territories. I was planning to put it in the key along the borders itselves.
The trees are hand drawn turned into pattern yes.

I'm not sure to understand how you're doing forests with a pattern

first I scan individual hand drawn trees, add colors and build some little blocks of trees by selecting and stamping individual trees with the clone tool. On my map file I import the tree blocks on a small size colored background. Then I use the clone tool to build larger forests on the map buy selecting and stamping the tree blocks on my forest layer ( from top to bottom). Schwartzkreuz did post some tut about it with mountains in the tutorial section.
