Well I think I will leave the outlines of the landmasses here.
Feel free to lob C&C at this some more, but I think the bulk of the land will stay as it is.

It seems that GIMPs Path Generator has had some kind of fit, or (wait for it....)
a stroke!
Seriously though.... HELP?

Interesting. I'll be eager to see how this developsKidding. That is way weird.

Okay, so I kinda did the dodgey on this after my EPIC Path Explosion. I suspect it had to do with the selection, since I didn't go over the whole coastline with a fine tooth comb. Anyway, dodgeyed it up by tracing over a few sections, then selecting the line for the path, expanding the selection by 2px then stroking the line. Worked, sorta dodgeyed it. Deleted the original path, created a new one after I touched up the line it left a bit.
Anyway, stuck in a nice yellow-ish background, then shoved in some mountains (Mustard), rivers (blue), political boundaries (red) and who-owns-what (text). C&C people.

Here is the next stage. The major thing was the addition of the Cartouche. I've also decided that my "cartographer" is using blue-black ink.
I'll attach a pallette up for C&C, just to see what people think about the potential colour combinations. I'm not sure yet what colours I will use in what way, but yeah... toss it out there, see how it goes.

The colors seem very vivid and bright. Not sure how they're going to be used or what the look is going to be so that might be what you want.

Here's the next installment. Begun the next major phase: Mountains. I was inspired to, and decided to, do every last sucker the old school way: drawn them in by hand. I'm getting better at "draw by mouse" when I can't use my tablet PC.
Here is the first of the major mountain ranges done (at least for me since there was a campaign that happened all around this mountain range). I present to you the first sketchings of the Dragon's Back Mountains.
Humans keep on calling it the Dragon's Back Mountains because it reminds them of a dragon's body. Dwarves use the name because they swear there are the petrified bones of a spectacularly large dragon encased under the stone. Is that the real reason? Doesn't matter...(and I'm not going to tell).

Update: Worked more on the mountains & hills. Drew in some rivers. Tossed in some of the empire names. Decided that Caslon will be the Font of Empires. I'm not sure what other fonts I might want to use for other landforms... but that's a road to cross later.
