W.I.P. Serpent Isles Colorized

As per Gidde's suggestion trying less obvious texturing . Also cleaned up some artifacts that showed up under the colors. What do you think ??

Overall it looks quite sharp. Very striking colours, and the idea of the background is really cool.

I find the scale bar difficult to read (black text on very dark background). The lettering in the first version also suffers from this a bit. I really like the compass rose -- nice colours and nice fill effect.

Lastly, I find there's something confusing for me about having such sparse tree-cover. Like, my brain is trying to interpret the individual trees as if they're individual trees, rather than be "representative of trees".
