Borilyn Map 2016.05.24.21.17

I'd say its a bit too small, there is a lot of details crammed into a small area.

Yep.

As I mentioned it was for a thread in Discussion (Rendering a map from an image if you are curious) and the image provided there is 600x385. When I couldn't create anything good from that I just erratically traced a map and it worked best as 705x705 which leads to a larger area than the OP's posted pic, but still within a reasonable size expansion of what Oren was working with.

For me it was more about learning to create maps from scratch in my graphics software so I know the do's and don'ts of grayscale creation. (I added noise then blurred stuff in this one which came out better than the first, all flat draft I posted in the thread.) So, when I move on to Terraformer or Designer or such available here, I'll have a better understanding of what they offer.

My own personal best maps are the one's I've rendered from cloud formation pics I took and then tweaked. They look a lot more realistic than this basically flat one I made here. (I have a thread about them if you are curious. Grayscales are posted so you could render them if you like. Most peeps feel I did a good job with them, but wouldn't play them themselves cause I like dealing with rugged terrain.)

Keep the comments coming. I learn from each one.
