Re: GIMP tips
Well I just finished one myself.
Things that worked for me:
1. Patterns since they naturally fit nicely end to end AND look nicer than just a plain color.
2. Layers for everything.. makes changes easier
I had one layer for background which was a patern in GIMP then for land masses another with above and below that one other layers to smooth the sides (hey I bet you can do this easier but I'm no GIMP hero)
Then for other color landmasses (ice) anohter 3 layers
Then one for borders
Then one for white dots
3. Since the patterns took care of most wrap aourn problems that only left me the borders and the land one the wrap sides to do and then fill it in. I just used the positions you can see in GIMP to make sure the first bit of line was in the right place everytime and then after that was done I did the rest easily
