Welcome to the Challenge GW! I like the colors you are starting with for the background.
OK, so as I mentioned in the Challenge prompt thread, I was listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Swamp Music started to play just as I was reading the prompt. I know, how crazy is that? Of course it is a sign, so here I am. And then mixerbach had to and say something about bonus points if I could work a Skynyrd reference or two into the map. Well, I am doing just that, and it is getting silly, but I am okay with that.
For now, though, just a bit of a test. Trying to work this through terragen, and there is still a lot of work to do in terms of texture, but I wanted to see what you all thought about the watery portion of the swamp so far. Probably won't use this specific layout, but it should, hopefully, give a good impression of where I am going with this in terms of looks.

Could be a useful texture if you make it into a seamless fill.

Trying to get there. Been a very busy week. Hopefully something this weekend.

Sadly, I probably won't get this done. All sorts of inspiration/ideas, but just blah when it comes to motivation. Too many other little distractions right now, like getting my car repaired after someone backed into it. Grrrrr!

Sorry to hear about your car, very frustrating when that happens.

Yeah, lately it has been one thing after another. Mom's passing, all the wild fires in the area, now the car. They say things happen in threes. Hopefully I can be done with the insanity now.
