WIP: floating boulders (need help/suggestions please)

[Sharpe]

Hey! That's what I meant about the fog! Yeah, now you're cooking. That looks a lot better.

You might add another island or two, but have them (much) lower than the others, almost entirely obscured by the fog (with a top layer like you had it before, going over the surface, but also "cut in half" by your background layer of fog). It may lend some depth.

About the nest, I just meant as a small, out-of-the-way decoration, less than one square in size.

That mid-level fog really did make a big difference! Thank you!

With the nest, I thought you meant something really big, for an encounter with some type of creature.

I'm not really sure if I want to add any more rocks. I'm liking the layout I've got at the moment, but I'll test out a few extra ones and see how it looks.

Here's the new "rising fog" version. I want it to be obvious that it's starting to rise above the top/ground level (so players will be like: Oh crap! *cough cough* This isn't good! ), but not so dense that the overall brightness gets bumped up too much.

looks fantastic and the tree is much better now. I think perhaps the chains are a bit to mossy - if the rocks are floating here and there at least where the chains grate against one another the moss would disappear.
Have some rep with my longsword of pretty cool repping

[Neyjour]

Haha! Thanks.

Okay, I lowered the opacity of the moss a bit, and did a soft erase where the links join.

Any last suggestions before I call this done?

Looks great, man.

[Neyjour]

Thanks Sharpe.

Alrighty...I'm going to call this done. And I want to say thank you SO much to everyone who took the time to comment and offer suggestions. I really, really appreciate it! This would have been very mediocre (and I probably would have ended up scrapping it) if not for your help!

Man, this map looks amazing!

Seriously, it is one of the coolest battlemap I have seen! Did you do the rocks yourself? These look amazing...

[Neyjour]

Thanks very much!

The rocks were a free resource from deviantART. You can see the full credits list here: Miasma Summit.

Reminds me of Facing Worlds, what a great idea. I personally love this idea.

[Neyjour]

Thank you.
