My new world map
I need to start another map like I need hole in my head, but after seeing Tear's recent work I was feeling inspired.
I started playing around with this and I sort of like where it is going, so I think I'll keep working on it. I was amazed at the speed in which this was done. This little bit took about 20 minutes, I think. I'm not sure about the mountain placement though, so any input there would be great.

Looks good so far.

I like the shape very much, but in my opinion the rivers are too long. We have a proverb in germany that says "Wasser sucht sich den kürzesten Weg." roughly translated "water seeks the shortest way itself".
Good grungy-lookin touches, nice colors, good shapes = good job, bro.

I really like the textures! Mind sharing how you did the mountains and forests?
I used Soixante's mountain brushes that can be found here. After I got the peaks where I wanted them I made a separate layer underneath that and used a piece Pasis’s tutorial from here. I only used the base mountain layer section.Originally Posted by TheImperial
The forest was just one of the default speckle type brushes in photoshop (I'm sure there's a proper name for them, but it's not coming to me at the moment). I widened the spread, and cranked up the size and angle jitters, then played with the bevel and opacity until I got something I liked. I can get you the exact setting if you'd like.
Hope that helps!

This looks very sharp. Can't wait to see the next iteration!
Very nice i like this alot, love the softer pastel colors
Thanks for the comments.
Not much to this update, really. I'm taking the labeling slow while I think of area names that I really like, rather than just throwing something down to fill up space. I figure since this one's not in a competition, I've got the time.
C&C appreciated...
