    Default Hello from Lakeland!

    I've always loved maps accompanying/enhancing fiction. I've recently made a hobby of writing fiction and desperately want to express the worlds in my head in visual media. I'm firstly interested in creating semi-photo realistic topographic maps.

    I have GIMP and Adobe CS6, but don't know which tutorials I'd do best to explore considering what I want to accomplish. So I'm curious as to where to start and sincerely appreciate any help.

    I had the best luck just jumping right in and trying a couple of the award winning tutorials in the tutorial section that produce the type of results you are looking for. Welcome to the guild.

    Welcome,

    I am not sure what you mean by semi-photo realistic topographic maps but if this is what you are looking for I did some videos on something like that... in Photoshop. YouTube link --> HERE

    The tutorial details can be found here
