    Update.

    More work detailing cliffs.
    Converted some cliffs into slopes.
    Lots more work on the volcano...should probably stop that now.
    So much more left to do on both maps.

    Awesome work Xpian! This looks like a huge undertaking, I really hope you will have time to finish it. Either during or after the challenge.

    Your mountain style is as always exceptional

    Cheers,

    Update.

    The brief of this challenge from Chashio calls for an unusual, non-standard kind of compass.
    There are three directions in the custom, hand-drawn compass you see here:
    Spinward, Windward, and Driftward
    The smaller version of the island will have the same compass, but set to different directions.

    This is looking really good Chris. The compass looks good and is a good adaptation of Chashio's request.
    You're doing really well with that request, which didn't sound like an easy one.
    The mountains look really good and that desert is brilliant.
    The volcano in the other map is also very cool. This will be fun to watch develop.

    Update.

    Experimented with some different ways of doing forests...
    And then settled on coloring in the forests that I'd already started.
    More forests to come.
    Experimenting with tonality of the grassy areas.
    Added a title line and put the border all the way around.

    Your linework is really excellent xpian. Not so fan about the colors (most notably the greens). A bit bright to my taste I think.
