    Wip WIP: Velesh

    This is a world a friend created, which I'm spiffifying the map for. It's very much a work in progress, both on the map-making and world building I think, so it won't be finished soon but comments are welcome.

    Here it is in two different water styles. I've been putzing around all day in Photoshop trying to get an ocean and like and so far I'm not happy with any of them, but I might end up going with the first water style for the time being.

    Add me in as another for the first. The second one looks like distort-glass while the first one looks like it was based off of some difference clouds that got hit with lighting effects (how I do my mtns).
    If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

    The magic is gone, eh? I used to look at images and go "WOW that is great looking!" and these days it's more like "hmm, looks like a cloud render with a chrome filter there."

    At any rate, you're mostly right :p I did do that but I'm not sure it's actually visible; the texture comes mostly from a texture overlay in the layer styles (and the waves beyond the reef are a texture overlay of one of the patterns you had in one of your tutorials).

    There's still plenty of magic...I had never thought of using that technique for waves and I've been struggling with waves for years. Thanks, man, for keepin the magic alive...in me at least Oh and have some rep to boot

    You have Photoshop in your software list so I'm assuming you're talking about having a stretch of time to devote to this. What that's like is like being unemployed, heh.

    You don't know how true is that until you're not single anymore ;-)

    A little of bit of Ascension, a little bit of Pasis, and a little bit of Saran goes a long way in making a small update.

    But I still can't make a decent forest texture *grumble*
