My First Attempt at a World Map (WiP)
This is a world I have used in a few games quite some time ago and I recently thought about bringing it to Roll20 for my friends so I decided to try my hand at bringing what has only been scribbled down on paper a few times to the digital world.
Created with PS CS6 and quite a few tutorials from around here and YouTube, there is still quite a bit I have to do with the landscape and I'm not sure I am happy with the snow on the mountains. I am looking to get a tablet to help with some of the freehand work as using a mouse s a pain.
So here it is, named simply "Isle of Storms" for lack of a better name when I first made it up.

I really like the second map. I like the ocean, especially the coast. Maybe add some texture to the sandy area in the southwest corner?
Thank you Rev, I am still going about making the land the way I want it while experimenting with photoshop so I did add a light texture to the desert region as well as some other modifications today. Here is what I have so far.Originally Posted by RevGunn
Minor change, I finished up the crevasse to my liking, here is the result of that.

Looks really good! keep up the good work.... I really like the ocean/ land transitions.
I have my map close to where I want it for the larger satellite view. I wanted to try and draw the major cities but they would be too small to be much more than a few pixels so I went with the banner labels instead, it should give my players a general idea of the world as a whole.
I love learning how to do things in photoshop besides make forum signatures and memesI am going to tackle regional maps next which will provide much more detail about the towns, villages and points of interest.
Here is the CFN end map.
Looks cool! I like how the forest came out, and that mountain range to the North is massive; looks like a great place for some epic sub-terrane exploration!
For your water texture, is that something you did yourself in PS? It looks like it *could* be a water texture scaled up, but I can think of a possible way to get a similar effect in PS as well...
