Foah's World

Heya!

I've been spending quite some time building my map and making it as pretty as can be. I'm half done with the terrain, and not even close with all the names and places.

I thought I'd share some WIP screens:

1 pixel equals 1 km.


I've received some kind words from people, and I'm considering making a tutorial for creating and styling land and sea if people would be interested in something like that.

What I've got left to do is further detailing of vegetation, mountains and elevation, mapping cities and points of interest, adding scales and markers, and finally adding some island off the coasts. This has been done in Photoshop from scratch with no downloaded brushes/textures etc.

 

I'm not quite sure yet. Either I'll add some mountains, a tiny lake or redo the vegetation a bit to make it hospitable environment

 

Yea, there's a limit of 4 images per post so the whole map would've needed a new post. Me being lazy I guess ^^

About the name Duvida; that name among a few others are placeholder names, a kind of Lorem Ipsum to see what the map will look like ^^

 

The finished result 4800x2700 pixels. Slightly smaller circumference than earth with similar climates. The only thing missing is a mark for where the equator line goes. This should be somewhere around the equator.



PS: Asura, the names are similar to mediterranean cultures overall, and is so slightly by purpose. The meaning of the words however, are by mistake

 

Thank you The WIP pictures in the original post were after 2-4 hours, the final product was after some 15-20 hours of incessant polishing.


EDIT: Alright, so 16 votes for a tutorial so far, which means I'll start planning one. Expect one to be up in 2-3 days

 

The tutorial is coming along nicely. Since I use so many shortcust and key commands, I chose to make it a youtube tutorial to make it easier to follow.

I do have one problem which postpones the upload of the tutorial; my microphone's half broken and produces an uncessant hissing noise. So while the footage is pretty much complete, I'm waiting for my new mic to arrive so I can make a new voiceover/talkthrough.
