Yep. I was using solid black instead of my dark grey. I have the trees separated into multiple layers, so fixing that will be a snap.
I also experimented a bit with turning a few things into smart layers so I could experiment with some blurring effects - I have to say i like it.
And when I was playing with the country borders, I ended up popping into Illustrator to make them so I could edit the paths with the brushstrokes already applied - and use some of artistic ones to break up the solid lines as well as have the watercolour effect. Turned all those into a smart obect, ran a blur filter on that, and woah
I may end up using the same effect on the trees too, haven't decided yet.
Taking a break from the trees, the wife wants to go see a movie, wether I want to or not.

She surprised me. We ended up going to see Zombieland. Fun flick, I'd watch it again.

I am rather interested in that movie myself...
But I like serious zombiemovies more than the comedies. How much comedy is this one?
Check out my City Designer 3 tutorials. See my fantasy (city) maps in this thread.

a fair amount of comedy - but to be honest, I have the same outlook you describe - and it was a very finely balanced mix, all told.
Go watch it, you'll not regret it.
Sorry Barovia is taking so long, life keeps getting in the way and I keep taking breaks from the tedium

progress! forests have been placed. now for colour work and towns.
I'm probably going to keep it to less than 2 dozen towns or so. From a gaming perspective, since the area is supposed to have a fairly low population I figure they could represent towns of no more than 50 people or so, however, I figure there's gotta be SOME population to support a vampire
Plus the scale on the side is looking a tad more accurate

Update: everything looks finished but the embellishments. I'll name the bordering countries, drop in the artwork and call it done.
And with the towns representing between 50 to 100 people each, that puts the region at a population of between 900 to 1800 people. Enough to support a castle and vampire, and few enough (and widely dispersed enough) to keep them from banding together to raise arms

Looking good, my only 'nit-pick' is that the font is so small I can barely read it.

Yeah, that's a result of me forgetting that i've been shrinking the pic for the WIP posts
thanks for reminding me, I'll adjust that.

Ah, maybe that's why I thought the trees were so much tinier as well. Looking good, CM
