Aug/Sept '18 Lite Challenge Entry: Shot through the Mountains

[mirandaleiggi]

Thanks for the feedback, guys! I wanted to do a little more work on this, but I think I'm calling this map done. Doesn't look like I'll have time to play around with it more before the deadline. I had a blast doing this. Can't wait to see what everyone else has put together, too.

Looks great, love the colors and the concept.

The only thing I don't think look right are the blue strokes/ripples around the coastline. It looks like you've done the expand selection -> stroke method. One way to make it look less box is it to smooth the selection each time you expand it. It might look better done by hand though so it fits with everything else on the map.

I like what I see, especially the fact that the straight's sea level as well as the crater's seem lower than the rest (nice optical effect that erally sells the depth). Like Larb, I'm not a fan of the blue ripples (of automatically generated ripples). They do their job zoomed out but I'm sure you can get the same effect (with a more organic result). Great job anyways

Thanks for the feedback guys! You're right, that's exactly what I did. And I really like your suggestions for doing it a better way if I want to keep that kind of style.
