February 2019 Challenge: Land of a Thousand Falls

[Jaxilon]

Got another night into this...helps having an audio program to listen to while I'm working.

Mostly just small modifications to the land to make it more real in shape and feel, messed about here and there on the cliffs. Sort of finished off the coast that heads up towards the NE corner and added more clouds built up over there.
Touched up the claw a bit, darkened the Evil land area around the claw and showed a bit of fire peaking out thru the cracks beneath.
I fiddled with the rivers a bit in preparation for starting on them. Fiddling included changing one of the rivers (the second one from the left along the coast) to flow in a way that made more sense to me and allowed the addition of more waterfall action.
Also reduced some of the grassland areas to show a bit more dirt so it's a bit more natural.

To do: Ocean, coastal beach areas, RIVERS and falls, civilizations and roads, complete a border <-- unless Ramah meant he wants the country border indicated (have to go back and check the document).

Anything else I'll have to figure out as I'm doing it.

+12 h ��?
Ifeel you too , lol that style painting requires lot of work an paint over several times on the same areas. My only criticism is about sea ... I would invert colors , darken the outer sea and lighten the coastal areas.... everything else looks gorgeous ... I feel we have a similar approach to map paint even if styles are differing on the specific ones.

12 hours? If you mean what does "another night" mean, in this case closer to 5 or 6. If you mean total spent so far..hmmm I guess about 26 very roughly. Looking at your piece I was thinking the same thing about our methods being similar. I feel like mine would change slightly if I was producing on a more steady basis because I'm always looking for ways to speed it up. It does take multiple passes.
Thanks for your comments and mentioning about the coastal areas and the sea. I've sort of been working from the upper left towards the bottom right and haven't done much more than paint bucket and layer settings on them. I'm still not sure how I want to paint them exactly but I will do something soon.
