Very nice style of mapping.
I wonder how the town (if there is one) will look like.
I think, therefore I am a nerd.

Pimping my worldmap here. Still WIP... long way to go, but I'm pretty proud of what I've done so far...

There will be several towns, but I am not sure where or when I will get to them. I have a few more landscape elements to put in before I begin the final clean up to add the towns and such. There will be one on the water as well as a few inland along with perhaps a tower or two. I plan to make then stylized as if a ISO view as everything else is, but have to find or make the right icons for that somewhere....

Very interesting
BTW: There was a cliff mentioned. Where was it?

Joe, I love the changes to the forest and the new forest! Excellent and I love to see that the effect worked out great and ended up improving the other forest. Well done.
I am really interested to see how you are going to pull of the towns in a similar style. Maybe create a "typical building brush" and then use the same technique?
That is so pretty. I love the softness to it. I also really like your forest. The lines suggest the outline of trees really well without being overwhelming.

I have been absent from the forums for what feels like forever -- and it'll take me about that long to catch up!
Joe, I want to tell you how much I like the way this map of yours is progressing. I really like how you did the mountains (and i now have the tutorial bookmarked for later reading!). I'm looking forward to seeing how this comes out!
