Let me know of what stories, ideas and feelings this reminds you. I am intentionally not giving these compositions a title, because I'd be very curious to hear what people associate with them. I gave the compositions as a whole the tentative name 'Tanepeisi', meaning 'Memories' in Imerilé. Hope you enjoy this!

I had my first shot at composing and worldbuilding through music! Let me know of what stories, ideas and feelings this one reminds you.

amazing tutorial thanks (:
This is a great tutorial!!
Fantastic tutorial thank you. Can I ask.... which color palette did you use? Is it maybe Earth or Geyser? And also where did you get the background parchment jpg from? Thanks again.
Best of the Best tortional ever thanks a lot brother
bro where to find map projections?
Wirklich toll =) ich fange gerade an mich damit zu befassen. Ab und zu muss ich ne Pause machen, weil es wirklich viel Information ist ^^ Ich hab mir ein Paket mit einigen Texturen und Pinseln gekauft und bin noch am herausfinden wie ich die hunderte an Dateien in Gimp verwenden kann. Like und Abo hab ich mal dagelassen =)
are you an author?
Perhaps one day :)
@@LeoLeonis bro what? nah start now. There is a rare coherence that i see in your "brand" , the vocabulary , the visuals , the names , the world building. Not something everyone can have and see for themselves , you have it intuitively and it will perfectly translate to book. Learn about creative writing , it has never been as easy and fun as right now. So many tools these days, including platforms, language correctors (so you dont have to worry too much about grammar/syntax) and even AI's for reformulations, synonyms of metaphors findings, image generation for inspiration and easy visualization, or straight up generating text useing NovelAI/GPT etc (cheating but hey, some people do it, just dont let it suppress your style). If you enjoy making visuals and maps and the likes, you can always insert them into the novel, creating something truly unique and complete. Its obvious you have a creative urge to put a world out there... Why build worlds like you do, if not to tell stories you have inside? Plus i also sense that "perfectionist" side ; that is a recipe for a true craft. Learn the basic of novel writing, make the last step...and thank me in a couple years :)
Thank you for the tutorial. It help me alot
I come back to this channel every few months to see if you are back. Hope to see you again soon. your vids are awesome.
Thanks so much, this means a lot! Yeah the project is still alive and I am planning a very substantial update by end of the year :)
I dont understand what is going wrong Im stuck trying to make the path from the selection The path ends up with approximated curves and lots of jagged triangle edges and it looks really bad especially when stroking the path. Also, single pixels get 3 path points on 3 of 4 edges, making the path around them triangles instead of squares from the selection I used. (other larger shapes are also approximated as perfect triangles when making a path from selection, like it's trying to use as little path points as it can rather than being accurate) In this video your selection to path seems to make a pixel perfect path around the selection with 90-degree angles around the pixels. How do you do that? (Furthermore, you stroke the coast with an eraser and add details smaller than the pixels seemingly? I'm so confused...) Edit: (At exactly 21:00 you "create the path" but it's a jump cut to the path done and filled in with white and its perfect squares and blocky. How did you do that? The video literally skips it, that's not what my path looks like, nor does the path auto fill with color, was that something you did after making it?)
Mmh with what resolution are you working? I am not sure but it might be that trying a higher resolution might be helpful. A second idea would be that the issue is with your original selection - e.g. when selecting by color there are options such as antialiasing and feature edges that will fade out your selection, it will then still look you selected some definitive pixels but adjacent pixels might also be in the scope of the selection.
@@LeoLeonis hi bro, you still there why arent you doing videos anymore, i hope you are fine, can you do a comeback and return by creating a tutorial on how to do like this but for real world map, aka like chaneels kings and generals or historymarche
This is SO good! Thank you so much!
Bro you are super underrated!!!
very helpful mate.....thanks a lot
Thank you so much for this great tutorial! I'm creating a map for a fantasy story and the brushes + handdrawn continent outline is such a good combo for me.
i dont find any SGV of map projection 😞
I fr wanna learn this
I know I’m late to this but I just still want to say I love all this work you’ve done and how your ideas are born, thank you!
My proplem here is iam creating a full world map of my fantasy world, It contains three continents, and whenever i get to the biom part i cant use the tool because its make all the map at one biom or two, iam about to give up tbh
As a person who is starting to build a fictional world you are such an inspiration for me, keep going bro and I hope you never give up on this project.
Thanks so much, and no - no plan on dropping the project although I know it's been quiet around it. But I am working on a very substantial update still this year :)
@@LeoLeonis That's great to hear! I am looking forward to the update.
ps. I'm so honoured you replied to me you are such a legend.😆
This is amazing, exactly what I wanted ty!
Only thing i couldn't really do is biomes, the gradient either doesn't work at all or only paints the outer part of the continent and some islands off the coast
THE best GIMP map tutorial. Thanks man.
I find this so cool! I'm watching it three years later and following the steps, as well as using some other techniques, to start my first world-building project! The only question I have is: How did you obtain a world projection grid? You mentioned searching for them as SVG files on the internet, but I haven't been able to find any! I'm also aware of the list of map projections (I'd like to use a Mollweide projection), but I can't find any file with an empty grid, only files of the real-world map with their respective projection systems. I've also been trying to figure out how to configure the projection grid in some other drawing program or in GIMP itself, but I haven't been successful. How did you get yours? I hope you could help! I am very thankful for your work and tutorial :). Best regards.
I wanted to ask for the brushes is there anyway to import it into krita
Great video, thank you very much
Do you think you could try this in medibang? Love your work and one of the very rare Eastern worlds created! Im trying to make a chinese fantasy world myself and seeing your work really inspires me to continue creating :)
i have been searching for months on how to create my own maps for my dnd campaign and every time i found something promising, it was either just an asset or it costed a lot of money so i was super happy when i found this tutorial. it was very usefull and the result looks great thanks Leo Leonis.
Good tutorial, personally I've been using Inkscape and it's the one that I feel like works the best for what I want
Hey are you going to come back to this project? It's one of my favorite worldbuilding projects, I absolutely adore it
Hey thanks so much for reaching out! Yes, I am planning to finish the historical atlas within the next few months and hope to have a rather big update then :)
@@LeoLeonis that sounds really cool. Thanks for replying
do you think it was better to make this kind map on krita or on GIMP
I prefer Gimp :)
Great video thanks. I have learnt a lot from this thank you very much
thank you
What’s the software or whatever your doing that on called?
It looks like China in Japan
I wanna know where you got that parchment.jpg, its the best ive seen
What do you mean "note so great", man, you're amazing!! Super helpful and cool video
Can i export this in .svg?
I'm afraid not really, you can of course create maps in vector graphics programs (such as Inkscape) but you would not have all the texture and brush options which will not convert into svg :)
@@LeoLeonis thank u for this answer..The solution I found was to export the textures as an image and trace the bitmap in Inkscape, after this I converted to .svg, but this makes the file very heavy
Thank you man , great work
This is actually one of the better gimp tutorials I’ve seen and it goes right into an example project. It’s just so great.
This has opened me up to Gimp, didn't know it was a thing before this video. I'm having a blast spending hours upon hours creating new maps and trying out new things. This has enriched my life so very much and I can't thank you enough for this amazing content.
What dimensions do you make your world maps?
wondering this too.
Hey hey! I think i found it. 6000x 4500
Yeah, I usually stick around the 5.000 x 5.000 mark for the final maps. You may laugh about this but this year I have been working on remaking the map for my world from scratch and it's 35.000 x 35.000 (allowing me to create exports from regional areas in still high enough resolution to create rich maps from them) - hope to share something soon :)
Amazing tutorial, Thank you
How do you animate your maps? I've been looking for a simple solution...
An easy way would be to create a static map and then export a series of individual frames (where e.g. you move a border or so in each frame) and then create a gif from the exported frames, which can also be done with Gimp - if you would want to create more complex animations you could look into DaVince Resolve or After Effects :)
@@LeoLeonis Great idea, thanks! Ooo I worked at an art school (in IT 😅) and DaVinci looked complex!
How do you make those maps? I saw the tutorial you made with free tools, but I'd love to know how you make yours in this style
Hey, yeah they are a bit more involved in the tools they require, but do heavily use all the things in the tutorial I uploaded as well - it's been a bit difficult making time for the project lately, but I hope to make a more advanced tutorial soon :)
I might be crazy but is the island in the north luzon? 😅
Bro just created the most beautiful and wonderful script in the world. Amazing work
Miss you bro
Thanks so much, appreciate the message :) The project is still alive and I am working to complete the historical atlas during the next few months - I redid the entire world map from scratch and am revising some things to make the history more coherent, but I will then hopefully be able to share the entire draft :)
Where does everyone find such good quality old paper background😭
Just do a search for parchment texture :) You specifically probably found it already, but maybe it can help others
bro how did u get the background for the layer in the first place.
