[QUOTE="ZombieButch, post: 3682347, member: 18828"] Hey guys, thanks for the kind words! Eventually! After I post next week's episode, I'm going to take 2 weeks off (partly to just to take a break, but mostly to spend as much time as I can with my son before he starts his first year of school!). When I come back, I'll be talking about [URL=http://www.zombienirvana.com/gallery/picture.php?/50/category/2]this map[/URL] for a few episodes, and we'll get into some painterly mountain-building with it. There are a [I]lot [/I]more in the book, though! Wraith answered both of these. :) If you head over to [url=http://www.zombienirvana.com]Zombie Nirvana[/url] I've got a list of about 10 Photoshop links to other sites that I've found to be particularly good. If I had to pick just one, it'd be Bert Monroy's podcast, [URL=http://www.revision3.com/pixelperfect]Pixel Perfect[/URL]. A lot of Photoshop tutorials are basically, "do A, do B, do C, done". Bert really gets into a lot of detail about what he's doing and why he's doing it, and that's something I've been striving to emulate in the [i]FCAP[/i] podcasts. Now, you [i]can[/i] learn something from those other sites, though, even the photo-manipulation ones. If you can take the time to really dissect the tutorials and figure out how it is they're working, there are a lot of ways you can apply those techniques to mapmaking. Just as an example, that woodcut/engraving look I used on the lake came about by looking both at S. John's method and studying some different methods for turning photographs into line art. I never would've been able to put it together if I hadn't spent time playing around with a lot of cheesy photomanip tutorials and figuring out how they worked! I've also learned a lot about color by checking out different Photoshop sites dealing with digital photography and color correction. [/QUOTE]
