[Award Winner] Rising up the mountains in Photoshop

[Veldehar]

Holy higgly piggly I love this tutorial! Just goofing around with PS trial for a few minutes and was floored by the effectiveness of these techniques. And that with textures I just plopped together.

If your mountain layers are appearing too distinct, make sure you're using a blurry brush and maybe tweak the layer opacity.

This is very similar to the tools I shared in 2007: http://www.cartographersguild.com/sh...hotoshop-tools

As far as I know, only 1 mapmaker has used it: http://www.cartographersguild.com/sh...orld-of-Charun

Combining the technique with a slightly random brush gives it a more natural look. I encourage people looking for quick, easy and reusable mountain tools to give it a try.

Having seen Pasis' latest WIP, I had to track this down and bump it for an easier find, LOL. Still one of my favorites for this style of map.
