Description My December 2010 entry for the monthly challenge at the Cartographer's Guild. I was testing out ways to create various effects and learned a few techniques I hope to use again.

Made with Gimp 2.6

How did you do the mountains?

To be honest, I was experimenting and each one was done using a slight variation of technique. I did this in Gimp so that puts it back a few years as well. I doubt I could tell you the steps in order at this point. 

Mountains were one of the hardest things to get down. I currently work in Photoshop and use a combination of layers and brushes then touch up the peaks by hand. 

I'm sorry I can't be more specific but if you are looking for some good help on such things I highly recommend you check out www.cartographersguild.com

They have really well done tutorials that will get you started until you can branch off on your own. One of these days I should try making a video but it seems like I work so slowly it would be boring.

Thanks for the words. I will give it a shot. I know next time it should go faster which will be nice.

Thank you. I have mostly worked on regional and battlemaps prior to this so it was fun to make one so large.
