New Continent: Playing with Styles

[rdanhenry]

I think the Westlund mountains fit the map better, although perhaps the others just need to be faded a little. (There's nothing wrong with using more than one style of mountain - Earth does.)

I disagree that hand-drawn mountains have to have hand-drawn forests. If you use a color or texture for forests, it can overlap with the mountain symbols, allowing you to indicate forested v. non-forested mountains. It all depends on what you are trying to achieve.

well... i went back to bumpy mountains...

how do these look for size and placement?

i am imagining that the large Suthryn island is about the size of Australia... maybe this is a new game world...

I'm not that fantastic with scales etc. but I'd say that if the Suthryn island was the size of Australia then your mountains look a little big.
They look good though.

i thought my mountains might be a bit too big...

i made them with some photoshop layer styles someone else had uploaded to the site... sand dunes and mountains.

i am not sure who created them, but they are brilliant. I could try to track them down if that would be helpful. or someone else may know and post who it was...
