    Great work. I really like the way you've done the edging of the forests...was that using eyecandy's jiggle filter or something similar? I'd love to know how you did them.

    Now that's how a forest shape should look like...not just one big blob. I gotta figure out how ya did that, nice work.
    If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

    Thanks.
    No real secrets to the forests; the shape and edges were all done by hand using a tablet. In most cases I based the shapes I drew off the texture of the land below, using faint lines and shapes, rivers, mountain valleys, etc. to guide the shape of the forest.
    Each forest is also two separate layers with different textures. I used the magic wand to select portions of the forest, fiddled with the selection, and deleted portions of different layers to break up the forest.
