Ok.. got rid of the bogus water texture. Made my own. Changed the shadows/highlights to be it's own layer in case I decide to swap out the rock texture at some later time. I guess positive feedback really helps motivate people, so I ended up deciding to tweak it.
Hope ya'll like the changes.

Ooh, I like it! Now that you changed the water texture the rocky shore texture doesn't bother me anymore and it all looks really natural. Great job (especially because this map didn't take much time to create).

Check out my City Designer 3 tutorials. See my fantasy (city) maps in this thread.

I was trying your technique out ... this of course is the first test run ... at least I can tell it's supposed to be a river.. lol
Cool.... a much more painterly style, but good example. I particularly like whatever you used for the reeds/cattails on the edge of the water. Very nice.
And the cool thing is that you can swap out a color or texture with something else and the picture remains the exact same except for the one element you changed. Masks are cool! Masks are fun! I love masks!
