Those forests are far from ready (if you look closely, you'll see that there are half-trees at the edges of the blurbs) because the method I used to do them is so time intensive. My eyes started to give out from making tiny mask adjustments and plunking down tree-trunks, so I've left that area unfinished for now.

Yes, the mountains are coming back! As is the sort of ridge-line denoting Riggsland. I think I'm going to try a different stroke pattern for the two highways, as I need to put some smaller roads and trails in.
