Krastvin - an experiment in Wilbur-taming

That looks so much better then the previous one. Very good update !

There are still couple of mountain ranges that looks atrificial. Like north one between Distrek Wynn and Kotu En Ambar. Looks like a basic stroke made with mouse without any variations. If you want to play with them more, the mountain range below Braddi Hern looks the best. If you could make other simillar to that one, would be awesome.

Yeah I guess you're right, but I don't think I'll go back to them at this stage. Maybe if I'm exceptionally brave (and have a lot of spare time) somewhere in the future. Which I probably won't have. But hey, it's good to dream, right?

Keep up the great work Caenwyr. Looking forward to see this finished

Me too!

The mountain shading looks very nice. The pure gray land area seems a bit cold and cold and dead stuck between bright gold border elements and saturated blue oceans. I think that exploring a little warmth for the landscape might help a little, especially against the electric blue seas. The gold border is a HSB 45/100/100; using a land color in the range of HSB 45/25/100 (RGB 255/239/191) as the base color that gets modulated by the lighting channels would tie everything together a bit.

That sounds like a wonderful idea Waldronate! But not to worry, I wasn't planning on finishing this map with the standard cold grey. Maybe a gradient map in that colour range you mentioned, maybe a solid colour, I'm not decided yet. I first wanted to get the basics down before I went back to throwing globs of colour at it, that's all. Oh and I'll probably tone down the radiating blue oceans a little bit as well. I'm going step by step here. I already rushed it once, I don't intend to make that mistake twice (well, at least not twice on one map )

It's looking much better, though I do agree with Waldronate that the land could use a little warmth.

Thanks Kacey, but like I wrote above, land colour is definitely coming back!

No worries. That is the part of learning new things. You will probably pay more attention to this when doing next map in this style.
