I wish I hadn't REPed your other map because now I can't REP this one and it is fantastic.

Thank you Bogie. It's enough that you like the maps

Those mountains are beautifully rendered! Really nice work on those! I think hand drawing/painting the forests (it looks like you may have used a stamp for these?) would have been a better way to go, given painterly nature of your mountains. But regardless, nice work on this.

Thanks Arsheesh. I think you might be right about the forests. I actually used a combination of custom brushes, seamless photographic texture, and a bit of painting to get that look. I agree that it's a bit mismatched with the mountains - perhaps that's the reason it doesn't quite sit right to me. But I am glad you like the map

Really impressive, your forests ! They look so real !
Good job !
(just a question : is there a little problem with the horizon ? the sky looks white near the mountains at the center ?)

Um, yeah... The white bits in the horizon are an oversight on my part. I should have tidied them up before finishing submitting the map, but I seem to have forgotten.

Thanks for the kind words, Jo

The map offers a breathtaking view ! I love your mountains that, for me, rival Vikings painterly style and I love your forest (that style is really great) but I'm not sure they work that well together. That being said, the map works and looks great so, maybe ignore my comment on mismatched styles.

It is glorious anyways !

As I replied to Arsheesh, I agree that the forests don't match the mountains. Oh well, live and learn I guess...

I'm really happy that my mountains are comparable to Viking's! He's one of my biggest inspirations on this site *blush* Thanks for the comment, Thom
