So I've decided to start over. Looking over my map, I think it could use a lot of improvement, mostly to look more elegant and refined. I relied too heavily on the grunge paper texture for the original, I think, and I overused a few basic filters. Basically, I'm going to try to do something more modern-looking (something like old national geographic maps, for which I found a semi-tutorial buried somewhere in these forums), then see if I can age it a little bit (not too much, though). I've got mountains to stand in for the real ones I'm going to use (I need to make a real DEM and greyscale shaded relief first). It will be topographical as well, and I might expand the actual map by about four times. I also plan to properly distort the map for a projection (not sure how to do that yet, but it shouldn't be too difficult. If not, I'll just make it Mercator). I should have a new map uploaded either tomorrow or next weekend (school prevents me from working on this during weekdays).
