    Ahh...I see the light/dark connection. I would still cut the color difference somewhat, but that's my preference.

    By the mountains I mean the edges look much like the forest edges: the edges are created by little circles jutting & looping out. Works great for "soft" features like trees, but for rocks & mountains I would think more jagged edges and such would be appropriate for the mood. Of course, this is just for cartographic visual representation since mountains themselves do not simply "end" in either jagged or flowing lines, but meld into the landscape, but hopefully you get the idea.

    Looking great!

    I cut it down, and thank you for your suggestion.

    I made them more "triangular", still look kinda fuzzy, but the complete jagged edges looked bad when I tried it. Thanks for your suggestion, it helped.
