Not sure whether they fit the map though, to me eyes the perspective appears 'off' somehow, but that's probably just me.
Yea... I know what you mean.. I LOVE the mountains by them selves(I need to make some brushes out of them), but I think I made them a bit largish for this map given the "continent" or island type scale. Of course, I really have no set scale as of yet, so perhaps that's just poopooing...

The only problem with this technique is that it is WAY tiring to both arms and eyes. I zoom in to 400%, etch in my initial shape and some general color on each side and then many minutes of smudging for each mountain. What I really want to figure out is how to do mountains in the style of the Manthria map. I am soooo drooling over that map....oh well... I will keep trying....
