Reply With QuoteRoughed up the coastline a bit more. Hopefully i haven't overdone it. Then I worked through the tutorial to the end of the second pdf so now we have the base land and sea colour. As always feedback would be appreciated.
So after running through RobA's Gimp Tutorial with one of my other maps I've decided to make a colour version of this one as my drawing skills weren't up to it.
So far I've done the first part to randomise the coastline. I'm attaching it before I move to the colorising steps to see what people think as Alait's coastline ended up a bit smooth.
Please tell me what you think.

Coastlines look much better. Good job!

This evening I've been working on the mountains and I'm not very good at mountains. I've done 3 versions and I don't think any of them work. Any advice on shaping mountain ranges would be welcome. Here are the three versions below so you can see the problems.
Thanks,

Not sure if it's just for you or not so I'll post them again.
This evening I did a bit more work on the mountains. I'm still not happy with them but I think they are getting better. I could also do with working out how to do hilly rather than mountainous terrain as some of the land that looks flat is actually somewhat hilly.
Of course one of the nice things about working in layers is I can always redo them later, so I've moved on and worked on the forests because I don't want to get so caught up in what's wrong that I stop work.

I wonder why this keeps happening? :/ Let's try again.
