Thank you all you guys!
@Eilathen : I can't really say anything about the forests, I guess it's matter of taste![]()
I love that style! A simple yet beautiful map. Have a Like (i can't rep you, yet).
As always with commissions, i wish we could see a higher res.
One problem i have with this style (at least at this "zoom"-level aka resolution) : The forests are not pronounced enough ...at this view-level, they are not convincing enough for me.

Thank you all you guys!

I'm not sure "it's a matter of taste" is applicable to every critic and comment i make![]()
On a more serious note - I am not sure you understood me correctly. I do like the style per se (so it is "to my taste"!)...i just think you should make it "pop" a little more (as in "stand out more"). Especially in the left-hand version, the forests are almost invisible (to exaggerate a bit). On the b/w version it is a definitely better but i'd still wish that they'd be a bit more pronounced...i mean forests are as important a landmark as mountains, are they not? And your mountains are very sharply detailed and clear...and not as fuzzy, "invisible" as the forests.
I hope that describes it more clearly what i meant?

Thanks Ravells, glad you like it
@ Eilathen : What I meant is that, on that style, I didn't want to emphasis trees sizes and rather did a forest style that match the scale of the mountains. So you probably don't like this kind of forest that much, hence "matter of taste"I think that they still are clearly visible on the map, though I admit that they would pop up more if they were more numerous.
@ Max - I was not talking about the tree sizes. Just about the coloration or clearness of the pattern you used for the forests. Especially in the sepia map. I just think that as it stands the two landmark-elements (aka Mountains and trees) have very different emphasis. That has nothing to do with taste.
As i said, this problem is much less pronounced in the grey-scale map...therefore the grey-scale one is much more to my liking.
For visibility - i guess if i could look at the full res map i would also think they are visible enoughIt is perfectly possible that this is a problem of resolution here...but i guess i will never know.

I don't know. Actially I like these forests combined with the Mountains and agree with hin regarding skale.
Hehe thanks, I wish I hadn't spend so much time on other jobs for years but well...
The greyscale version will be in the book so I guess it's a good thingAnyway, I got your point on the visibility, the forests might look a bit fuzzy but I kind of like it
If I remember right, you were probably the first to see the building of this forest style when I made Northern Kerash map![]()
Yes, I did comment on its shade and recommedated to make them a bit more bold, which you did. I value our conversations while mapping and am glad to give feedback as like to ask for that myself. Keep the good work on.
