I've started to draw Mars in the Mutant Chronicles setting. Mars is terraformed and huge canals irrigate the northern hemisphere. Capitol dominate the world and several landmarks will be added later. I think I shall use some small descriptive icons (like the pipeline) to clarify the landmarks. Do anyone have some advice how to draw polar/ice?
The textures I use to far is some kind of high-res leather texture, and a real vague mars texture. I will make it more red later, but it's kinda hypnotic to the eyes to work with that.
