The Island Kives - From Hand-drawn to GIMP

Next take on the mountains:
I completely deleted all previous mountains and redid both of them, plus the southern one.


The southern and eastern ones turned out pretty well, but the westen one ist still not what i'm trying to get...
The problem is, there are a coulpe of rivers supposed to run from a higer ridge on the eastern edge of the mountains through valleys into the fjord system. So i can't do it like i did with the southern one, or the rivers will cut through a whole ridge later... -.-

Enough for today, i'll probably try a bit more tomorrow.

Played a bit with the rest of the mountains and the hill lands around them.


Hills were done the same way as the mountains, following the tutorial, but with a gradient map from brown to darker brown with low opacity between the two embossed layers.

I think i'll consider this step done, finally.
