Episode #4 of Fantasy Cartography with Adobe Photoshop is now available for viewing at Revver and YouTube! In this installment, we use a few tricks to make our forest pattern pop with some sneaky layer and a custom brush.

It took all week, but episode #3 is now up at Revver as well! (Special thanks to Sean up at Revver support, who went a long way to helping me out!) If you're not a fan of YouTube-style Flash videos, Revver has the option of streaming videos in Quicktime format. And you can download them as .mov...

On the one hand, it couldn't be any worse than Gary Gygax's novels. On the other hand, it could be nearly as bad as Gary Gygax's novels. So, no. I'll wait for someone else to be the guinea pig, and even then probably not.

Thank you so much! Oh, and if you really want fast, repeatable results, make sure you're saving presets and recording actions. I couldn't tell you how much time I used to waste trying to get a brush back exactly the way I had it a few days earlier before I started using presets!

Thanks everyone! That was actually what I had in mind before starting the podcast! I'm looking at some options in that department for publication, but whether it'll be in the form of downloadable videos or something else (like a DVD) is still up in the air. Mostly, though, it's just a...

If you missed it in the publisher release section, just thought I'd mention that FCAP #3 is now up at YouTube. (Revver is reallly dragging their feet on this one. Could be another day before it's up there.) http://www.youtube.com/ZombieNirvana

The third installment of the Fantasy Cartography with Adobe Photoshop podcast is now available at YouTube! Check it out here! I've also added a Fantasy Cartography section to ZombieNirvana.com, where you can go to find all the latest on the podcast and the upcoming book. Thanks to everyone...

I'm looking at a lot of options. Like I said, my preference is actually to set up a sponsorship, so I can get some shared advertising with the sponsor!

I've looked at several such providers, but I'd prefer to work out some kind of sponsorship instead; I'm on a pretty tight budget, and since I'm doing a video podcast the file sizes get pretty chunky!

No, it doesn't, or at least not as definitively as you claim. It's just as likely that people who are interested in geology saw "real world geology" in the thread title and took the poll, while folks who don't give a hoot about geology just passed on by and didn't take it.

Thanks! I wish I had more control over how the final video looks, but ultimately, it gets converted into Flash by YouTube and Revver, and at that poing I'm a slave to their encoding. :\ I'm hoping to get the whole series up on the iTunes podcast directory as soon as I get a reliable source...

And like last week's episode, #2 is also available at Revver! You can watch it there (I think their video quality is a bit higher) or download a Quicktime version to watch at your leisure offline!

Thanks! It should be a good one. (Or good two, actually; it'll probably take me two segments to cover everything.)

Episode 2 of the FCAP podcast is now online!

Episode 2 of my how-to podcast Fantasy Cartography with Adobe Photoshop is now online! View it here at YouTube! In this episode, we finish aging the paper background we started in the first episode, and I explain my Photoshop philosophy as I create an even crinklier version of our paper. If...

I posted a quick Photoshop tip over on my site on faking the Lighting Effects filter to create different textures. Here's the link: http://www.zombienirvana.com/?p=68

FCAP is now also available at Revver.com!

I do try to describe exactly what I'm clicking on as I'm working! I believe there's a Zoom function in the screen capture software I'm using, so I'll try to make use of it in the next episode. (Plus, everything that's in the podcast will also be in the book!) I'm still working on getting FCAP...

The first installment of my podcast series Fantasy Cartography with Adobe Photoshop is now available on YouTube. FCAP will be a weekly podcast in several 6-8 episode “seasons”. (Expect me to take a couple of weeks off between seasons!) If you’d like the check out the map I’ll be discussing...
