Wow, thanks for all the support guys. I had hoped to have a bit more completed to show today but got bogged down grading essay papers (always takes longer than you think). @Mozltovcocktail, yes this was done with a mouse, and I'm not sure I understand the question about mountain ridges. If you mean, had I intended to include more Mt. "Ranges" then the answer is no (though I may add a few more hills here and there). If you mean, do intend to add more color shading to bring out the ridges of the Mt. Ranges already there, then the answer is yes I do. Anyway, hopefully I will have a chance to work on this again during the weekend. It's fun trying out a new style.

Cheers,
