Map Making

Maps

I started my fantasy project by researching and deciding to create a fantasy map for my project, I thought that if I created this first, if I could see how all my zones connected it might help me with environmental and creature designs. Time will tell if this logic worked. I started the map making process by looking through some of the books I have by Tolkien, as there are varied and beautifully created maps within his note books and story books.

(Pictured about is textures I used for my map)

I then searched for resources I could use that would make creating this map easier, including photoshop map brushes from deviantart. I also found some textures here as well to use in my map creation. 

Below is my thumbnails and sketches... It took my three days from start to finish to plan and create this map.
