    Its great. I don't know the scale but as a set of islands in a world then the mountains could be very large. If it was similar to Hawaii or a small island set then they would be about right. The shape of them is very nice.

    I am not sure about the white lines. I know many people put them on their map and I think there is some method to their position and direction and your lines might be correct, but it looks a little confused in the middle where they cross over each other.

    Good use of color and texture too.

    I do my rhumb lines basically as a a set of compass lines (turned into a brush) and place the center at the ports. So If you sail directly east then you follow this line or if you sail southwest then you follow this line. The colors are nice and I think you did a good job with what you had. The pattern on the land might be a little big because it looks like there are some big canyons with that pattern. I think a little more work or development and you might get something pretty cool. By the way, who did the artwork on that Rhim website? It's awesome.

    Thank you to you both.

    The inspiration is back I modified the colors (in GIMP), and added some labels, roads and a scale (in Inkscape).

    I think it's over.

    Those are some nice looking colors.

    Whoa, this is nice. I attempted to follow that tutorial and ended up with an absolute pile of rubbish. Not only do I seem to have issues with tutorials, LOL, but I too don't know how to translate it into the Gimp speak.

    At least yours looks great.

    Wow, that's a world of difference from the first version to the second. The first already looked pretty nice, but the second one is fantastic!
