Reply With QuoteI've done a satisfactory tree layer with GIMP now. Was wondering if I could do the same with Photoshop anew. Trying my best to find similar options to that of GIMP. Till now, its halfway done.

So, after several months of moving, finding a job and basically scraping the bottom of life, I've saved up enough to purchase a new PC.
Back to drawing. I'm starting where I left off two years ago. I've re-created my mountain layer and also added two new layers for forests and hills & rivers. The rivers are not touched yet. I'll be very happy if you guys could give me some comments to keep me going with this project. I really want to get my book out this year.

Welcome back Mannfred. My constructive criticism is that some coastlines look natural and some look like they were done quick with an eraser tool. It would look better if they all were similar.

What is the scale here? What is driving the mountain creation? The mountain placement looks a bit on the random side... which is just fine... but from a more realistic stand point, what forces caused these the way they are? There is something there that doesn't quite feel real. Some of how real this looks would depend on scale and what forces are at work, of course, and real doesn't necessarily matter, LOL, but as an Epic Fantasy guy, I like maps that feel real.
