    OK, a year has not passed yet and here is the new update :)

    1. I have finished the mountains (or at least close to that).
    2. Still playing with the colors...

    3. You can see some forest samples on the western coast.
    I think I'll make the forests using something like the ones to the right. The forests have to be quite simple to match the simple mountains, I think. And simple is also easier to make.

    Looks pretty nice so far Gallien. Though I'm not sure that the forests style match the mountains outline work you did. Looks good zoomed out but less good zommed in

    Yes, I am also not sure, that is why it is called alpha-version. Still experimenting. Probably I should use just an outline of a tree as a brush instead of a whole tree silhouette... I'll try something like this:

    (I'm still experimenting with different methods and brushes)
    Has anybody tried to make forests using the stained glass effect in PS?

    This was generated almost automatically. I used some rubber on the edges, plus I played with blur to soften the angles.

    I like the beta version better too, but that stained glass filter... that's a very good idea. I'll have to play around with that.

    Also, good to see you working on this again.

    Well, I'm discovering your work and it's a good one !

    I vote for the beta version too, though I would place the trees in a less sparse manner.
