    Default Bit off a bit more than I could chew

    So, I wanted to make a region map. Made quick sketch or whatnot in Inkarnate. Good for that kinda stuff, actually

    then I moved onto Krita, with edge stroke + edge glow fx and transparency masks. Actually been trying out a new method that involves first getting the main river basins down, then making the mountains more detailed around it.

    (not too good, but it worked as a beginning thing)

    then I tried to make some more detailed mountains. My first attempt at making a top-down style, too, since my usual style was your normal perspective mountain thing, but I was noticing that it looked weird with the normal top-down satellite style map, so I wanted to make something more top-down.

    This then led to my friend saying "too wiggly". So I tried making the lines thinner and lighter.

    Then my friend said it looked like rivers. So I added shading.

    Then my friend said to make the lines more jagged and less curvy, like rivers. And also change the thickness.
    sigh. Also, I accidentally submitted this post early, so I had to edit it, but I have less than 5 posts, so it took like a day lol. Though I am a bit annoyed, I'm more annoyed at the situation, I bet the admins are all neat. I get it, spammers suck, lol.

    I'm now trying to follow this one guy's tips. In total, this whole fiasco has cost me around ~8 hrs I'm not getting back. I really need a better workflow.

    Will update in this thread. Also sorry if this diverges from normal posts, I'm new here
