The Quary and Towne of Lymeport

Thanks fro the compliments!

The frame was drawn directly in GIMP simply by making a selection, stroking it, shrinking it, and so on. I varried the stroke with a few times and changed the pen style once (to get the dots).

The rose was drawn in Inkscape and the svg was brought into GIMP as a path. The shading was done by filling it with an angled gradient and using that as a bump map on the solid black rose shape.

Excellent map! I REALLY like it! I love the whole pen and ink with a sort of watercolor look. Been following the WIP thread and the final is wonderful.

How did you make the texture for the canvas and get the water color feel?

Also, what pen settings did you use to get the pen lines? They're lovely.

The water colour feel was just accomplished by building up the colours manually then applying a slight gimpressionist filter at the end.
Canvas was done at the last minute by just applying a slight canvas texture overlay with a cloud mask, and using the same texture as a displacement map to jitter the ink layer to follow the canvas contours.

Also, what pen settings did you use to get the pen lines? They're lovely.

I used a pen It was a scanned drawing I made.

Here is the WIP thread that describes the whole process.

Thanks for the praise!
