my river always seem to look unrealistic in shape. For example the one in my complete picture in Midgard.
I think i will leave Muspelheim for awhile.

here's how i did it.
1. make a blue background.
2. on layer 2 come with a green brush and do the land
3. then using various sizes of eraser cut a path in the land and the blue background will be visible.
4. add inner bevel to land
5. using dodge and burn on the 2 layers create shades to represent the waves and to make different shades on the land
6. using stamp tool make the fuzzy beginning of the river to represent the spring.

KEYOGI wrote:DiM, you're not talking about development of the map, you're sharing graphic tips and advice. This is something I do on a regular basis with other cartographers, but do you see me clogging up people's threads with this sort of discussion? No. Because it's not appropriate. Andy said as much in the Feudal Wars thread and I've said so many times myself. This sort of discussion should take place via PM, email, instant messaging, etc. Just keep it out of map threads.

I dont know if you like it though.
