I prefer the first one, the contrast is better imo.
Here's a version of the Middle-earth map but converted to tinted and grayscale.
Not sure which version is better but it's a good idea to test this when converting to grayscale.
It light also be a good idea to convert certain layers separately - depending on the colors. The title for example get a bit too dark in the lasy examople.
Made with the grayscale tool in Photoshop (with a tint):
Just converted to greyscale:

I'm a vector fan so I love the mountains. I found that when I did this style in vector I needed 3 tints to really make them pop. The lightest tint was the complementary colour of the background.
Cool! Have you posted them somewhere?Originally Posted by ravells

Some more stuff in Illustrator. the goal is to get a nice style that look a bit hand painted. For a sort of poetic map.
I am not satisfied so far - but I know how to solve the problems. The mountains are ok for now.

One of my map commissions from long ago....give me a day or two and it would be easier for me to repost what I did.
Nice work @Carnifex. I was curios to know, have you done any "extensions" on middle earth maps? I havn't seen that yet. It's probably in the realm of fanfiction though.Here's a version of the Middle-earth map but converted to tinted and grayscale.
