    I agree that the b&w stuff is very nice. I think I might have a shot at that for the mines area as I could do with trying some different styles.

    I see what you mean about the snow. I'm not going to worry about the icicles though - top down icicles, how the hell do you draw that ?! I may come back and put some ridges in the snow to break up the blanket of white.

    I've had quite a learning experience tackling these maps. The snow doesn't respond to dodge/burn at all so I've ende dup using one transparent layer set to multiply with black and a large soft airbrush to get the overall shadows in place. Then I do a detailed dodge burn layer over the top. With the shadows already in place it gives the dodge/burn overlay laye something to get its teeth into. It's the more broken cliffs here that caused the real headache. Not sure I really nailed it, but I'm going to set it to one side for a little while now while I do the internal mine maps.

    @Joe: Happy to provide pointers. Ask away when you get onto it.
