Map of Aden

[jfrazierjr]

This is the first map ive ever done for a world named Aden im working on. Im fairly proud of it, the only thing that really bugs me was how to better represent forests. Also I really wanted it to have a old parchment theme but I ended up with this very colorful one. Any critique is requested! Thanks

Welcome to the guild Kenru! Very nice start. Be sure to post more samples as soon as you can and don't be afraid to post your works in progress also. Post early, post often I always say.

Thanks for all the great feedback, it feels great to get some input. However, can any of you link me to a sort of Tree tutorial? I'm not entirely sure of how to fix the problem. Maybe I should use some Preset Brushes to better represent them?

Well, what I'm talking about should be something like this. (This is my map and it's shameless advertising, I know. There are guys that do it better...)

You can use the brush and the layer style in the attachment, provided you have Photoshop.
