This was my entry for July's Cloud Mapping challenge. I used a brush tool to draw the coastlines, and I used the sky from the cloud image as the sea, along with a second blue layer, both on burn mode over a tan base, and two solid noise layers overlaid, which resulted in some really cool effects that I am quite pleased with. The outlines of the mountains and trees were from Schwarzkreuz brushes, and I hand colored them.

Inspired, I turned this into a mini campaign setting, which is detailed here.
