Thank you, Ilanthar

It took me nearly a week to get just that much done. I was faffing around with the colours for three days, so I'm glad you approve.

I'm currently trying to decide whether I really need to do this in two halves just so that I can enlarge it by another 50% and work at 3x the original size, or if I can get away with continuing it at this size and in one piece. I was working at 4x original size before, but those files are no longer accessible because of the sheer number of layers they have. If I learn to be more efficient with my layers and limit myself to no more than 5 layers per file, and if I split it into two again now that I've established the base colours...

All these thoughts - and if I make a wrong decision about something right now it could have some serious consequences in the future. I've restarted this section in particular at least twice before this time, so I'm really keen for this to be the final attempt, and for it to be a successful attempt.

Decisions, decisions....
