Yes, I've always planned to add a whole lot more trees, but I wanted to focus on the city first.

Here's some progress:

The major change was adding the amphitheatre. That took a few hours, but I'm pleased with the outcome. I'm not sure whether I'll keep it in the park or move it someplace else in the city. The park makes a certain amount of sense, though, and I'd like to avoid wiping out any more houses.

I also added more trees. There still aren't enough, but I'll keep working on it. The trees do have a significant problem, in that they're too uniform in color. Currently I've got eight layers of trees, and I'll probably have to double that before I'm done, so I'm hoping I can get some more color variation going with some hue/saturation adjustment layers. Possibly using some kind of irregular greyscale image as a mask on those -- rendered clouds, maybe? Or desaturated repeating textures pasted into the layer mask. Eh. I'll experiment.
