It was Photoshop. I used the brushes I found on dA that are free for use.

This is a great thread! I love to see this sort of creativity! And finding out new techniques for mapping is also great. I have two maps, one from my previous WIP that's on hiatus, and another from my current WIP. The first one is a map of Therannia, the country the story is set in: This is...

I really like the idea of mixing magic and science, especially if there are some sort of steam-punkish elements. I haven't read a lot of it, I'd say, but The Dune always gave me that sort of feel - even though magic is explained as high levels of consciousness that help you do extraordinary...

Wizard can be whoever you want it to be. I don't see why it would have to be applied only to males. Also, I am currently reading the Seven Realms books by Cinda Williams Chima, which is also YA fantasy, and her wizards are male and female alike. And all are called wizards :)

I still haven't found my way to one of those... Thankfully. If that is the new trend, I am very old-fashioned. :D

I have a big weakness for tall, slim, pale, long and black-haired men. So usually at least one of my MC's is gonna fit the type.

This looks wonderful. I wish my level of map-making was half of this. :) Also, if you need any help with the Slavic history, I might be able to give you some insight as I am from a Slavic country.

I find it annoying. I love to read books in English exactly because it is not my first language and I want to get better at it, so I can write better in English. Because of that, I'd probably be upset if I saw such a strange (and grammatically incorrect) word in good prose. I dont' mind if you...

I know Ray and I use email, and I use comments in word for any edits or thoughts I put in. Sent from my HTC Desire 820 using Tapatalk

Just to let you know I am back home and am a-okay with some late-night brainstorming if you're up for it.

Anxiety over 9000 - working deep into the night for a deadline for work tomorrow - also have a test at uni in the morning and need to get up at 6am.

It helped me a bunch, I'm glad you found it useful.
