Slylok: colour? really? I'll give it a try, but my guess is the desaturated look is one of its strengths. Thanks for the suggestion, though. And yes, I would definitely agree that it looks unfinished.

Llannagh: thanks for the praise (and the rep), but I have to disagree with you about what the 'biggest problem' is. I think if you look closely at any one of my mountain ranges above, you'll see that the caterpillar lines are not equidistant, or particularly straight or thin. The big problem is maintaining the motivation to keep making those mountains. If I've learned anything at the CG, it is that a single map element rarely looks good; that same element on a map filled with detail looks fantastic.
