Nice work. I really like the shallows and the river delta in the south.

Thanks for that!

I think the best thing for me to work on was covering the mountains with snow, and then building up all of the delta's and islands in the way I did. For that, I just used a slight bevel, I think a softer setting, and with a dry brush, painted the outside of all the islands and sounds with the details that you see there. I used my oceans base layer, darkened it, and had it underneath the beveled ground texture so that when I finished drawing up sounds, islands, and other barriers, I could sweep underneath them with a light opacity brush, and give them a more tropical look.

I also tried to make it look like the ground beneath the water was closer to the surface to make it more realistic. That took three hours to do right. Agh! But it paid off in the end! And thanks for the feedback, I was never sure if I'd have a good start, but this is!
