Valoran Map Update

I though that Valoran's map was a bit odd. The Freljord and Piltover were at rougly the same latitude, Bandle City should've been a desert, and the cities were placed a bit oddly, at no natural intersection.

Here's the Imgur album! End result.

What I did:

1. I made an outline for Valoran and for its states and regions.
2. I flipped the thing so that Bandle City wouldn't be in a rain shadow. Also, this way the Demacia-Noxus orientation fits my headcanon.
3. I used GIMP's Cage Transform tool to bring the Freljord to the North and the Jungles to the South. https://i.imgur.com/mqKGMm2.png
4. I repositioned the islands. Ionia's a bit too lush to be so far North, so I swapped it and Bilgewater around. I dropped the Shadow Isles a bit to the South for similar reasons. https://i.imgur.com/76UpHcA.png
5. I fixed the shoreline to be a single unified line. https://i.imgur.com/hGDbsqD.png
6. I drew in the boundaries between regions. https://i.imgur.com/HAyO9zn.png
7. Color! (All colors from Riot's official map, chosen with the eyedropper tool.) https://i.imgur.com/0EH7T4a.png
8. I filled in the region colors from the official map and Gaussian Blurred the shit out of it. https://i.imgur.com/H0Gdugw.png
9. I made a Sea layer, and added some gradients to it. https://i.imgur.com/UZGI9H4.jpg
10. I drew dots for all the cities, moving Demacia towards the Serpentine River and Noxus towards a pass in the Ironspike Mountans, since those places are the ones where cities typically form (at trade intersections).
11. I named all the cities, regions and seas (and typo'd the Serpentine River...)
12. I merged all the text layers into one layer, then gave it a black shadow.
13. I drew Mount Targon into its own layer.

I might go over it some other day and make all mountain ranges consist of scaled clones of Targon. I have the .xcf if anyone's interested in looking at it. I'd have to figure out where to host it, though.
