Commision - Snowy Field Ambush

[professorthunder]

@Gidde: Closures are pretty rare, yeah. But while we're colder than Michigan temperature wise, I think the Michigan/Minnesota area gets some pretty big snow falls, especially the UP region. (Not to derail the thread!)

I think everything here is a pretty good, clean, representation of a snowy field and road. My only wish with a map like this would be a little elevation difference between the road and the snow, either higher or lower. A higher road would be more dry and less muddy, a low road would be a boggy cesspit. One way to get a quick elevation or slope is to use adjustment layers in Photoshop, especially the Expose tool, to lightly paint regions of shadow where you want them.

The road could be slightly lower, but it's not ordinarily ever like this as the reason for the area being frozen is supernatural in origin. It's normally a grassy field with sunshine and such forth (in the middle of Eberrons Summer months). The road is still cleared though and hence it's maintained.
