The Northlands

[Diamond]

A new project, as if I didn't already have too much stuff going at once. Stylistically, obviously I owe props to Tear and Landorl, but I hope it doesn't seem like I'm trying to copy or otherwise rip-off their excellent work.

This is a northern region, analogous to Sweden or thereabouts, climate-wise and somewhat culturally. I'm trying to develop my own style, and this is the first pass at it. Rivers are done; in fact they're extensions/part of the ocean layer, so as to avoid any hiding of them by subsequent terrain additions. I'm happy with the mountains and hills so far, I just want to make them look more elevated, but consistent with how they already look. More experimentation there. Then it's on to forests.
