Couple more samples

[allenrm]

Here are a couple more images that I am rather happy with. First is an old looking map. This actually is a symbolic image as I am hoping this is a career change for me. If all goes well, I'll be starting a course in Cartography in the fall. So the elements are all inspired by the hopeful change, and the oversize siggy/logo is that it is ME that is changing.

The second is just a simple attempt at blending renders together to make a pleasing image. It is nothing more than that, except I think it does look rather cool.

There both good images, i agree that the second is a rather tidy looking render.

The first one looks good, like you are going on a adventure with a ancient treasure map .. The second one is rather in depth and just fun to look at .. Good work bud... Keep it up!

Both are good.

The first one may serve you well in your endeavour... good luck.

I like the background texture on the map. I think it would look a bit nicer if there was a bit more of the land texture showing through the white lines crisscrossing the land masses. I also thought the gradient at the bottom, where it goes really dark, was a bit too dark. The greenland part looks good, though.

The second image looks really good. What is "blending renders"?

That means combining 2 or more images into 1 seamless image. Here look at this..... Blending Renders Tutorial | Photoshop Basics

thanks dv8. I'll try some of that feathering stuff.
