Another map

[Pigeon]

Here's another map I made, still in corel photopaint, but with the lettering done in Corel draw.

I keep forgetting/losing the textures I used for mountains ect, and so never get it looking quite how I would like. Still, I'm pretty pleased with this one. I'm planning on doing some close up maps when I have more time.

Someone suggested that I should make my water a bit more defined, which is something I agree with, just got to work out how to do it!

My apologies to any ozzies or kiwis out there for ripping off their countrys!

A very good looking map.

Water - don't you just hate it. you may want to try to use a background image but just making parts lighter and darker could give you what you are looking for. I say water is Blue and that is the way it is going to be!

Mmmmm, I wonder if it is possible to have a line drawing as a 'watermark' and then use a blue on top of it.

Next time I do water I think I'll have a light blue "shallow water" round the land masses, then a darker blue to show deeper water. That may break up a bit of the blandness.

Very nice map. As you already noted, distingushing the depths of the water by using different shades will help with the water. Also, placing a compass rose in the water would help. Especially if you extend the lines of the rose to meet the land mass. If you have CC2, their is a good example of this and the effect it has in the tutorial.
