    Our styles are very similar, but I think you're much better at this than I am, heh. Something I do differently that I would recommend to people is that rather than using the clone tool to draw the things that you just load the entire texture picture into the map and then use a mask tool to select where it shows. You get the same effect, but it makes it a lot easier to edit, especially if you're dealing with multiple layers of things and you want to try out how they look. Hold on let me grab a screenshot of one of my maps;

    Ok here we go: http://www.routinedelirium.com/forsaken/caveguts.jpg

    Everything (except the furniture) is a solid layer. It's a much more forgiving way to make things.

    Thanks for the tutorial, I'm definitly gonna use it when I get around to making some geographic maps

    This is an awesome tutorial.

    Relatively easy to do and producing great results.

    I've had a Westeros map sitting on the backburner for quite a while now, because I'm a player in a group using that world (It's from George RR Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" fantasy novel series, if you are interested).

    I'll run what I have through your tutorial and will let you know how it turns out.

    Ah, Westeros! Please do post on this forum if you decide to map it using this tutorial!

    Yup, being a fan of ASoIaF I would love to see another take on the map of Westeros.

    Someday I'll do one of my own.

    This is basically a concept sketch while practicing the tutorial, seeing if I want to do up a full version to match the last map. So some of the terrain may not match perfectly. But it's incredibly easy to make the terrain, and edit as you go! wow! Too bad we can't give out more than 1 rep point at a time, the tutorial is worth a lot. Pasis, you are my hero for today!!

    (and yeah, i'm kind of proud of that volcano... I think that putting the country name under the smoke layer would give an interesting effect..)

    Actually, reach 100 rep and you will give out +2 rep

    I was looking at the labeling near the volcano and I was thinking the same thing: what would it look like if the name is under the smoke?
