Thread: Dealing with mountains

    Default Dealing with mountains

    I'm working in the mountains in my map right now but I'm finding that is harder than I expected, so I need any tips at all of how improve the mountains there, overall tips are also welcome.

    For some reason I can't upload the map here, so it is the link: http://qoff.deviantart.com/art/A-unnamed-map-522886553

    There are a number of styles to choose from so it depends what you are after.

    We do have a bunch of tutorials on mountains as they seem to be a very hard aspect for most folks to master. I would look at the tutorial section and find the style you are after and go from there.

    The style that I like most is the Jonathan from Fantastic Maps style, but in this map I want to use brushes and I have no idea of how to paint them to look nice.

    I actually haven't watched it, but I did watch this video and it taught me a lot. Like really a lot.

    Updated, what do you guys think of the mountains now? I think that they look better but I'm not sure of how to improve them.
