Exploring techniques [wip]

[kjdavies]

Hi All,

I've been exploring techniques for a number of map elements (water, shallows, forests, mountains, etc.) and figured it was time to start actually putting together a map.

I've scribbled together a start, a guideline for roughly what I'm aiming for. White is land, very pale bluish-green is not. Dark brown lines are mountains (one line is smallish, two lines is bigger); arrows across them indicate the long side of the ridge (I've got some tectonic action going on here), arrowheads along ridge indicate slip, the red line indicates volcanic activity along the fault line. Rivers are blue, forests are green, desert is yellow. After that, not much is decided.

(and yes, modeled very loosely on Europe/Asia/Africa).
