[Region 1][Map 25][Location 2] Briar's Cove

[industrygothica]

heh thanks, and I just learned about the pen tool, and using paths in photoshop in class Wednesday.. so I might do it like that just for the practice.
And I'll keep looking for more tutorials, but do any specific ones come to mind for the trees?

oh, and if it would get them more to scale, should I just go with dots for the cities, and then do each city map seperately?

That is certainly a viable option. In my Hammerfall map, which is the region directly south of Briar's Cove, that's what I've done. I've also taken the area around the "dots" and blown it up to map out the town proper, and am then able to scale back the town so that it fits precisely onto the region map. Of course that looks a little funny if your town maps are all done in different styles, which mine will be (hopefully), but it's fun to play with nonetheless. And a great opportunity play with an assortment of techniques.

I can't think of a specific tutorial on trees right now, but browsing through the tutorial section is half the fun of it, because you almost always run across something else that you didn't know you needed as well. If I should think of something though I'll be sure to let you know.

You go to photoshop classes? Man I'm so jealous!!!

That makes two of us. Of course, when I found this site it was like one big giant photoshop class to me. I've learned loads since I've been here.
