Looking very nice so far. The texture on the political shadings look great

Another update. The text in the upper right isn't set in stone; it's more of a place holder for right now. I'm most likely going to change the font to something pseudo-Greek-ish. Thanks to Coyote for the awesome gold-plating tut.

First moutarde, and now you... I'm feeling left behind here. I just may have to try my hand at one of these myself at this rate!!

[Diamond]

It's certainly fun to work on, that's for sure! This is one of those rare times where the way I envisaged things looking in my head is the way they actually look as they're created.

Wow! This looks fantastic. I'll second Coyotemax's comment. I only wish I had time to begin a new project. Great work so far, I'm looking forward to watching the map progress.

Cheers,

Another update, with some artwork put in. Note: I didn't draw any of those alien heads; I've had them sitting around on my PC for months, years in a couple of cases. I unfortunately can't credit the artists as I don't remember where I originally found the pictures. But they DO look awesome...

I had to save it as a JPEG with a little less resolution, otherwise, it wouldn't have uploaded. Hopefully there's not too much pixellation.

Wow, that just looks fantastic! Great color scheme. I like the background maps as well. Good work Diamond.

Cheers,

Those insets are looking fantastic! The mountains in particular are working really well there. I have to ask though, do those enormous white dots on the main map represent cities?

[Diamond]

Yep, those white dots are capital cities. Very LARGE capital cities.

A small update. Just some text added for now.
