Apologies for the profanity.

Creating some forests. They look nice but are not quick.

I like the look with the green and the highlights and such...but the tone around them looks a bit like a drop shadow, which makes the forest look a bit like a giant cloud of noxious gas. Like it's floating, in other words.

Cursed be the man who uses drop shadows under his forests. I used the burn tool instead.

Great to see you back in the saddle again, big A!
Awesome! Great to see you picking up a stylus again!
Just messing around, playing, experimenting, having fun. The dodge/burn layer is going to have to go. I was using it for temporary shadows and highlights but it is starting to mess up my painting.

I really like the way the palm trees are integrated into the tropical forest down at the bottom. Lots of aspects of the map area looking great. The color tone of the deserts is spectacular. Cute mountains, very cool tree look to the forests, good colors on grass, sea, and woods. More of my thoughts in this image:
[ if all of this is stuff that's going to disappear because you're going to trash the dodge/burn layer, then...awesome. I may have wasted some time telling you what you already knew. :-) ]

Yep. All that stuff is from the dodge/burn layer. I'll have to go back and manually paint shadows... if I still want them.
