WIP - Southern Continents

[andre]

Hi guys. These are the two southern continents of what I hope will eventually be a full world map. So far, apart from some general land textures, I've only been working on the eastern of the two, obviously. The map goes from about 10 degrees above the equator all the way to the south pole, just to give a sense of scale. So, since this is one of my first maps on this scale, I'm just curious about general impressions, suggestions, or any glaring mistakes that I'm oblivious to. Of everything you see, I'm most unsure of the mountain, for which I mostly followed Ascension's tutorial here as best I could, modified for gimp (his look much better than mine, I really suggest it if you haven't tried it yet).

Also, I'm extremely displeased with the way the current forest textures I have end up looking when I try applying them, so if anyone knows of a good one, I'd really appreciate a suggestion. Thanks!
