Feb / Mar 2015 Lite Challenge: Autumn Forest Textures

[Chick]

These are great. I might try to find a use for them at some point, because the colours are so lovely. Thanks Chick!

I hope you do, and please post, I would love to see how they look on someone else's forests

Hey I like the idea. Have you tried using a layer mask to create a more gradual transition into the forests, right now that hard edge around the forests is really jarring. The one thing I think would really improve this idea is to do something similar to the grasslands, right now it seems like it's missing harmony between the forests and the rest of the map. Especially since the forests are very busy visually while the rest is more toned down. Hope that made sense. Good luck.

Thanks for the suggestions! Actually, I only intended these pictures to show the colors. In the original Arboria map, the forests were green and the edges were softened, but for this purpose I added a ton more forests just to have lots to show off the colors, and things like the grassland background are just there by default

Inspired by Deadshade's idea here (http://www.cartographersguild.com/sh...ad.php?t=29800), I've tried applying my autumn textures to a head of cauliflower. This is the result

I think he's invented a whole new way to make forests!

Wow, that's surprisingly effective!
