The Planar Gates Region

[Karro]

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I'm very glad that everyone seems to like it overall.

Karro, good suggestion on reducing the opacity of the dirt. I made multiple passes over the edges of the dirt mask with a 20% opacity brush, and I'm quite happy with how it blends with the sand.

I'm still not entirely certain what to do about the swamp. It does seem to have a problem with being unnoticeable against the neighboring jungle, but I don't want to up the brightness or saturation unless I have to -- I think dark and gray is a big part of the feel of being a swamp. I did try slightly yellowing and desaturating the neighboring jungle to reduce the contrast, and I do think the jungle itself looks a bit better that way. I'm not sure if it helped much with the swamp though, so any comments in that area would be especially appreciated.

(Oh, and please excuse the uncolored labels, those are in progress.)

Dirt & Sand looks much better, now. So does the Jungle/Swamp. One other thought: have a slight blend of colors along the border region between jungle and swamp. Good job.
