Practice with the u/Immediate-Project922 method

u/Immediate-Project922 shared this method of taking real world geography and importing it into Inkarnate and I loved the idea so I decided to try it out myself.
I learned ALOT not just about this method, but things to change for other styles as well, especially rivers! Like I said this was just practice and developing a technique, but I'm pretty satisfied with the results.
The mountain range was achieved by cutting out a section of the Colorado Rockies and that bit that admittedly isn't very well blended in is just the same stamp flipped and shrunk, but hopefully you can't tell too much.
I have no earthly idea how I am going to add towns and roads with such a realistic backdrop, but we will see. Sadly I can't say to clone it and play with it since the stamps are exclusive, but if anyone has ideas please share!
If anyone has any questions please ask and I'll try to answer. That seems much easier than describing the whole process, (that honestly took a lot less time than the Geography on my other maps since the stamp pretty much tells you where the high and lowlands are without you coming up with that from scratch).
