    Looking good spiderfate. I like the coloring indeed. At some places the pieces seem a little blurred though. cheers, DJ

    It appears to have an oval around the edges that are blurred and that kinda weirded me out for a sec but I get it now. Good work, man.

    Looks very good. You have certainly chosen two great inspirations. And I wouldn't call your Tartha map a failure by any means

    Looking good. What is the green stuff to the far right? Looks kind of odd. I love the normal trees and the canyon walls.. they look superb.... Not really liking the big tree(s), but will wait to see what you end up doing with them. Is that supposed to be a waterfall or a water "shute"? Either way, it needs something...
