Trust me, it's not that bad for a first try. My first tries were rather horrible, I spent a lot of time playing with GIMP, mainly trying to emulate others posts, and just a short 6 months later I believe I have come a long way.

Keep going with Jezelf's tutorial until you get to the part where he adds color to the land. I LOVE that technique of painting some various colors and blurring to get some nice transitions.

I had already had this version before I had read your posts, but I'll still post them just so you can see where I was going, though I'll make the changes when I get home...

and the second one is the territory mask.. though the place really has no story, it makes the cities placement make a bit more sense perhaps..
