Thanks to everyone who's looking my scribbles !

I wonder if you took those dark ridge lines out it might look even better?
Actually, those lines were just a sketch for the shaded relief properly speaking, so I first tried it without showing them. But it does look better with it (slighltly blurred), so I kept them.
And will keep them.

Looking really good Ilanthar, the reduced size is working and I like the pallette
Yup, the reduced size helps... But I have to do a lot of separate files for my poor computer!
As for the palette, it's just a base right now, but glad you like it.

I've been experimenting with relief shading styles too. I've put them into a couple of challenge maps, more specifically the Harpy's Silver Tongue one. It's in my albums.
I've seen this! I've (and keep doing it) looked the work of different guilders here. And my good old atlas too.
I'm working from my "weird" mountains of my original Eldoran map as a basis.
The funny thing is that I don't have used any "light" just now. Only shadows.
And I'm not sure I'll add lights.

And a bit more.
