    Default July/Aug '20 Lite Challenge: Ginger Isle

    As much as I love being unable to stick to one style, I'm quite insecure with this one. :T I've been trying to make my first raster piece for some time now and this could be it. Bless the lite challenge for the motivation surge. Please spam me with critiques and good advice!

    P.S.: the desert totally won't stay that way.

    P.S.2: I'm really sorry about that title pun.

    I'm in agreement with Mr. B, those mountains are looking good. As for finishing, I'll let you in on a little secret... I've failed to finish way more of these challenge maps than I've completed. I know, shocking, right?

    Seriously, though, just do the best and as much as you can. Complete or not, it's still some practice/skill development time.

    Oh, you guys deserve the latest WIP though. What made me drop out is that my style has clearly changed from the first forest to the second one, and my dunes are too big and not really pretty… Oh well!

    PS: just noticed the background moved too, so that the river ends in a weird way now. This would be a quick fix though.

    Could be forests made of primarily different types of trees, though! And the dunes would look better if you decided that this is an island, and not a continent. You're not locked in yet. Of course fantasy doesn't have to be "for you"... you could scrap the fantasy fill and make it into a sci-fi map.

    Thank you so much. <3 It's really comforting to read this because I'm coming here to say I really am dropping out from this project. Maybe I'll take it up again some time, but the fantasy style is not my cup of tea and this won't be the piece that will unlock it for me. At least not yet. Thanks for the feedback and good luck to the contestants!
