    Wip The Old World [WIP] - A Map Project

    Hello!

    Today I decided to start off my mapping by making a land mask. I started by using a cloud filter with a 50% Grey layer on top in Hard Mix. Then I sculpted from there and made this, which I feel is both interesting and detailed:

    I'm thinking of colouring it in a Google Maps style, like this:

    Alright, that's it for now, looking forward to coloring it.
    Critique is welcomed

    What kind of scale landmass are you working with? Country, continent, etc.

    I plan on making it a continental map. Roughly the size of Europe and North Africa joined up.

    Looks really nice. Could you make your desert two colours like in google maps admittadly you don't have much desert showing Also should the green be a bit paler?

    More progress! Redid a few details of the overall coloring, and changed the deserts up a bit.
    The desert is supposed to be the transition to the lower continent.

    @bobemor - I can try to change things up a bit, will post soon
