Thanks for joining the challenge Greason! I hope this is one you have a chance to complete.
The mountains look great.
Mar / Apr 2018 Lite Challenge: Sosnasib
So, against my common sense judgement, I am going to give this challenge thing another shot, and hope to land on the positive side of that 50/50 chance of getting it done by the deadline. Already making plans for if (probably WHEN) my time to work on this will get cut short. Hopefully I won't have to implement those plans.
Put a few hours in on this today and managed to lay out the first batch of mountains, a few rivers and lakes and a bit of a forest test. Not fully convinced on the forest just yet and the rivers/lakes will need some coloring work once they are all laid out.

Nice mountains Greason! Go on, you can do it!
Also not too sure on the forest, they almost look like they are at a lower resolution than the mountains...?
I agree, very nice mountains!
@ tonquani - that could be the issue, I will have to check the brush/tube settings.
On a side note, I tried a few different approaches to get forests looking good both aesthetically and stylistically. Got close a couple times but only in one department or another. We will see what today brings.
Thanks for the encouragement one and all.

Okay, I think I might have the forest issue worked out, or at least closer than it was. Still not quite sure if the style is solid match, but I'm not sure how much closer I can get at this point so will probably run with it. Small sample below.

Still fiddling with blend mode and opacity levels for the forests. Feel like I am getting pretty close. Did finish up the northern portion of the coastline and added a little more significant forest test. Gonna call it an updated WIP for now but there could be some eraser work if I find a better look for the forests.

So because I forgot to save before fiddling around with the blend modes and opacity levels a bit agoI decided to try adding a bit of color to this. Originally I had intended to stick with a grey scale approach, but now I am starting to think otherwise.

I like it with the colors!

That's looking much better on the forests. All I'd do now is probably turn down the saturation a bit.
