I think that if the resolution were decreased in the greens it may look more like a fairly level ground cover. The highlights in contrast to the darker tiles make some areas look quite high. But I really like your aesthetic and direction with this project.
This is really great work. I think Ettrick is right with regard to the fact that it could use some re-sizing. (although while I was looking at it I came up with 2 or 3 adventure hooks based on giant spiders and a very steamy jungle...) Keep up the incredible work I'm avidly watching

Even if I am correct, I would still advise you to follow your heart. This whole Cartographers Guild thing, it seems to me, is more about passion and skill and learning new techniques than it is about definitions and rules.

I really like what you are doing so far with this project, and I'm very excited about the idea itself! I want to put some particularly elvish ruins in my campaign, along with current elven construction (villages and towns built into the trees), so this concept is dear to my heart. I thought your concept sketches were pretty cool.
Will be watching this thread to see how your project progresses!
