The Stormwatch -- 4E WIP

you would assume correctly sir

[Badger]

fixed the forests so they all pretty much match together...

On to tree trunks...

weeeeeeeeeeeeee

Also fixed the rivers at the edge of the map.. that was bothering me

[Badger]

need some feedback on my treetrunks .... good bad... ugly?

[torstan]

They look good to me. I'd not take them right out to the edges - some of the ones at the side must only have half a tree on top as they don't have any overhanging green!

I'd also suggest a drop shadow under the forest, behind the trunks. It should look darker as you see under the forest edge, through the trunks. Otherwise - nice. Good work.

I agree totally. The small picture looks good and the scale is good when compared to the mountains in the background. Just be careful when you add shadow so you don't overtake the trunks..

thanks torstan, joejr ... i was waiting on the shadow till i got the trunks down... one thing at a time people... my overdeveloped mind is attuned to things you could never imagine and therefore can only accept one thing at a time or my head might actually explode .... kidding of course

here's a tip for anyone tho who might care.... concerning scale and mountians... especially mountains in this type of iso map.... best tip I ever learned when drawing hand drawn mountains is never really consider the scale of the mountains your drawing, they don't actually represent each and every mountain. (as long as you don't go into ridiculous extremes) For some reason this helped me way back in the beginning when I had such trouble on drawing mountains.

Hopefully ... that made sense thanks for the tips tho guys that is why I love this place

Forests done... trunks done... shading done ... i hope.

My hills however SUCK ..... I think that the background may have to be redone a bit or perhaps my hills need to be redone.... feedback would be appreciated...
