Thanks guys... I had hoped I was on the right track.... though I may go back and "un-fractalize" the new forests borders a bit... they might be just a bit too "jaggy".
Ya know, I don't have a problem noting faults in my work, and at least in this work, there are still quite a number i plan to go back and correct. With that in mind, I really quite proud of the mountains and the Volcano I have done so far.. but the more I look at it, the more I am just totally in love with the hills and specifically, the little "lines" under/around the hills that symbolize rolling terrain.... I did it on a whim and it kind of disappeared on the old map due to the dark green color, but I am super jazzed about those little lines now!!! It's odd how one little element can really fire me up....
