September 2016 Challenge: Gymnopus P

Thanks Josiah

I'm glad you like it. I must have been picking up tips and hints along the way from everyone else, because I normally can't draw for toffee! LOL

Your really captured some atmospheric qualities. Absolutely love the waterfall and mist rising from it. Not too crazy about the shoreline, maybe a little more transparency (kind of a purple maybe?) Lovely job!!

You were right, Snodsy!

I was messing around preparing the map for a Finished Maps thread later on, and added an extra sheet to the ocean just out of curiosity - a mauve one. The effect tied the ocean into the landscape better, because an ocean on a world with a pink atmosphere would naturally be tinted at least a bit pink. I couldn't go too far with it, however, or I would have lost the blue from the palette.

I had also previously made a frame for the map (a wood texture created using only the palette colours), which in the mix up this morning I just simply forgot.

I feel really guilty about superseding the one that took all that effort to upload earlier (I'm sorry ChickPea... Redrobes) but here it is:

### Latest WIP ###



I promise this really is the very last on this thread!

Mouse, I still want to print and frame this!!! Or at least have it as a desktop image!!! This turned out just stunning!

[Mouse]

Hey Storm - thanks

That's quite a compliment!

This isn't part of the collection tied to the novels, so be my guest. I wouldn't advise trying to print it out, however, since we all know what printers do with all the various shades of red! LOL

If anyone else wants a copy just for themselves - that's fine, but I don't want to see it being sold anywhere!

Don't! There was a problem that needed to be fixed and your issues helped to move things along.

Map looks absolutely gorgeous. Voting is going to be hard this month

[Mouse]

Aw thanks again, ChickPea

I'm not sure whether I shall vote or not. Despite the limitations of each of our palettes, we seem to have produced a huge variety of different styles, and its almost impossible to say whether any one of them is better than any of the others.

It is going to be very difficult!

[Diamond]

Wow. That is pretty stunning. Haven't checked in on the thread in a while and BAM! I see this beauty. Nice!!

[Mouse]

Thank you, Diamond

Mouse this is great and only started 6 days ago! Did you draw the mountains in by hand (pen/tablet - sorry I'm not familiar w/CC3)

[Mouse]

Thanks AJ

I presume you could use either, but I've only ever had a mouse. And yes - I drew them by hand, one unintentionally wiggly line at a time. LOL
