Thanks J! I'm glad you like it.
Remind me to do a video or tutorial for the trees sometime.
I'll get back to the city, don't worry.

The video? Thanks!

Ahah, actually, I was speaking of the last map (#29 post). And now that I've seen the video link (and the video), I can say that the video is also fun and interesting .

[Chashio]

haha, yeah... I snuck that in.

And, i think, a final one for mapvember 2017...
sketchy mixed media map. playing with a looser style just for fun. the background is a scanned piece of paper painted in acrylics, with a rough digital map done in photoshop.

Oooh, you have been busy in here
I like watching that vid - it all happens so fast.
I need to get using some sort of swatch collection for colors.
I'm always hand picking them each time, which is foolish.

The new map looks fun, Like Australia reversed, sort of. Not.

[Chashio]

Thanks J!
Yeah, I love those color swatches - based on winsor&newton paint colors. They're really easy to accidentally delete though because holding alt and clicking is the same thing you do to pick up a color from the canvas.

Thanks


Thanks Ilanthar I'm glad you enjoy them.

Here's a style/technique I've been messing with lately. It's sort of a digital collage of mostly hand made elements brought into one document in ps and put together with layers and some use of the clone stamp tool. The region depicted includes some of the summer lands, winter lands, and the unshriven lands (which no one has ever mapped) to the north/top of the page.

The parchment background was drawn with pencil and scanned.
The mountains (watercolor or something) were on a separate sheet from an old sketchbook which I scanned recently... the original bit was most of that upper left chunk and the rest I clone stamped from that.
The forests were clone stamped from individual trees (liquid graphite) from another sketchbook.
The city and village icons were from another old sketchbook, just scribbled pencil scanned and clone stamped around.
The water (rivers and lakes, etc) is just digital on a multiply layer, as are the roads and labels.

Really nice one! I like the soft colors and overall idea.
