@ Lingon and Psylence:Thanks!

Psylence if you really like my mountains I think I can give you a copy of the abr file for photoshop, maybe an email? It’s a really small set and that explains a little bit of repetitivity. One day if I'll expand the set and it's appreciated, I could upload it somewhere.

Ok some slow progress:
another change for water near landmass (the way Psylence suggested), some other mountains, some rivers a border and a box.
I'm still looking for an effective way of letting mountains fade more into the land; for now I just tried to erase a bit of the light side; also i still don't know if/how effectively "light" the "light side" like Lingon said.

Next will come trees/forests, maybe other boxes, and I'm working on colonies/settlements etc.
Suggestions and critiques are, as always, highly appreciated!
