    I like your smooth mountains from before...sort of like it's your style. Or maybe it's that I'm just used to seeing them that way or maybe I'm predisposed to thinking that they work better with the more artsy side you're going towards. I wouldn't abandon them just yet but let the whole thing play out and then if you want to make the change to the hand-drawn ones do that at the end...but you'd have to put in hand-drawn forests too. Maybe make two maps to test the style, shrug.
    If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

    I'm really liking how this is coming on. I've always loved your colouring. I've no idea how you manage to make it so bright yet still look so good.

    I have to agree with Ascension, I've always liked your mountains on your other map and their painterly style. If you are looking to do a departure on this map then by all means, the hand-drawn ones also look good on there but I wouldn't discard your other style unless it was a concious style choice.
