Middle-Earth map
Here's my Middle-Earth map from the monthly challange.
It was made in Photoshop using my own work (maybe borrowed a few pixels somewhere).
The mountains are made from scratch in Photoshop using layer styles, custom textures, and custom brushes (as a layer style the mountains are fully editable). I wish I could do some more tutorials some day (suggestions welcome).
Rep it, rate it, or vote for it if you like it

wow. And I mean wow! I've seen many versions of this map in the past - I used to be a HUGE Lord of the Rings fan (I'm still a fan, but I don't know every line of every book by heart anymore) - but I don't think I've ever seen a version so elaborate as this one. So there it goes. Wow!

Great job Carnifex! I think you developed a very cool and solid style with this one.
Thanks Ilanthar!
And as I had some questions about it: I have not used any 3D-rendering (or any other external program (Wilbur etc)) to paint the mountains on the map. Just good ol' Photohop and some layer effects

Extremely nice map, Carnifex, rep'd and rated!
Nicely done!
My only little nit-pick is I would've expected Mordor, etc. to be a bit more arid.

Yeah. But then some lotr fans said eastern Mordor was growing lots of stuff!
