    I still have 2.8 installed. I just have to convert the layers to legacy and then save and then start again. I don't know if I can be bothered though.

    Oh no!

    Not fair!

    I was all nicely settled down to watch quietly from the side-lines, and then... the match got cancelled?

    Pretty please keep going?

    I can feel for you Straf. I absolutely hate when the software I'm using doesn't cooperate. Hopefully the ragequit fades and you get a chance to work on this, I was digging the shape of the island(?) and layout.

    I'm back on track. I think. I've just been experimenting with a few different colours. I'm going to stick with this for working on and then I'll apply some darkening layers later on.

    Glad to see you are making progress again. Software issues are the worst.

    Nice job on catching up with yourself, Straf.

    And I agree - 2.10 is pure hell. I've almost entirely gone over to Krita to draw symbols these days. 2.10 doesn't work with GMIC, and I used that a lot in the past.

    This is looking pretty nice! But ... there appear to be some strange things going on with a couple of those rivers (although maybe you have some hills or other terrain in mind that haven't appeared yet). In the East-Northeast, one appears to start in the lowlands, run uphill a ways, and then back down to the ocean. Then you have a couple toward the Southwest that run almost parallel really close to each other for a long while, then go to different coasts. There would need to be a high spot with dual canyons on either side of it for that to happen.

    Yeah there's some really puzzled geologists wandering about there scratching their heads.

    I did my rivers before my mountains and had plans where the high ground was going to go and I seemed to have missed a few spots. Now I'm just trying to decide which way the rivers are going to settle. I do like the idea of twin canyons converging on a common area where dragon riders go hurtling up their respective channels to meet for an epic dogfight.

    But I'm tired now and I have to be up early tomorrow so tomorrow I may try to do some tidying up and putting things right

    Thanks for the spot
