Thread: [Award Winner] Rising up the mountains in Photoshop

    Holy cow. I wish I'd seen this thread earlier. This is hands down the easiest way to get mountains exactly where you want them. The only suggestions and alterations I have, are that you should use a rough texture for the mountains that tiles seamlessly and is a neutral grey color so you can paint down textures on top of it to get the exact colors you want and blend it in with the map better.

    A friend showed me their map they made using this technique and I was floored. I tried it and these mountains are so simple and easy to create and easy to alter. Just pattern stamp and erase as needed. This is a very interesting use of the bevel/contour/texture features.

    That's pretty nice Mmansen, I'd move that over to a WIP thread and put the finishing touches on it.

    That map looks beautiful. Unfortunately I can only see the thumbnail! When viewing the full version I get a red cross image.

    The colours of the hills and fields are wonderful but personally I feel the colour of the mountains is out of place. Those reddish mountains would seem more at home in an arid environment in my mind. Maybe a grey colour would look better?
    Still, very nice looking map.

    Edit: Oh yeah... really love your marsh effect. Consider yourself repped.
