First Map Attempt

[JSP]

Turned out great! I have never done a digital map before, and I must say for a first map (or any number after that!) it is an excellent result. Your attention to the textures, shading and blending is awesome. What else do you have in store? As you said, it is a WIP, so are you going to put anything in the northern part of the ocean? To me, that is the only part that looks a little lacking. A heading and compass rose would fit nicely in there.. Keep up the good work!

Thanks JSP! Your feedback will be most helpful. I was thinking about putting in a compass rose, though I haven't really figured out how to make a nice one yet . I also plan on adding labels to the oceans to take up that extra space, and possibly contour some of the other texts to fit on the continent nicer.

Here's the newest revision. Decided to stick with adding a compass rose for now to take up the sea space a bit (which took me a few minutes to figure out how to do in Photoshop... I feel dumb now LOL). Be gentle, as it's also my first compass rose

Now with curves! My goal is to learn something new every day, and today I've learned how to make curvy text in PS.
