    Looking beautiful man. I think I prefer the first image but maybe that is because you haven't got the hatching quite right yet.

    some more practice on hatching in 3d and top-down views. For the topdown view I created a brush to speed things up a little but needless to say it's a lot of work to make things like this. But... I'm learning

    Oh my word, those mountains look amazing. Especially with the hatching. I'm not sure if the mountain style goes with the woodcut coast style though. I don't know why (and am probably imagining it), but from memory, usually when you see a wood cut coast the mountains are either hairy caterpillars or symbols but not shaded. It might have something to do with the tech advancement and materials that were available at the time.

    Absolutely stunning, DJ!

    thanks, aye I need to find out how to do coastlines. But I recon first see if I can get the hang of the hatch-shading of mountains/hills and then bit by bit move to other types like forest, coastlines, etc. This will be a long learning process but I just started practise and will see where/when it ends (if I can keep the interest, and the creative juices flowing). And SG, I also have times that I just cant get anything done. I usually force myself into doing the challenge as I know then once my mind is brewing on something, ideas tend to pop up (but I have an odd brain). cheers, DJ

    No way in hell anyone is getting me to do all that much hatching. Dude, you're crazy.

    He's crazy and my jaw is somewhere on the ground. Bravo you crazy man!

    People come and people go. I walk amongst them, I see their faces; but none see mine. I pass them in the streets but nary a glance is spared my way, for what interest would they have in a Wanderer? Not of this world... Forever Alone... Forever Wandering... LoneWandererD...
