Finally got most of the colouring done. Just a lot of adjustments to play around with. Might also throw a desaturating filter on top of the whole thing - not sure.

I still need to do the fields too. Boo fields.

[J.Edward]

It's looking good. No, yea fields.
Fields are good.

[Jaxilon]

Fields are Woot!

[Larb]

These fields are driving me mad. Have redone them a bunch of times. Thoughts and advice?

[J.Edward]

I'm not sure what you're trying to convey, so I don't know what advice to give.
What are you trying to do with them and how do you feel it is not succeeding?

[Larb]

Well my first concern is whether they look good or not I suppose. Essentially it's just just farmland for wheat/barley/oats.

What I would like to aim for is a landscape more like this. That is the end result of feudal open field ploughing over many years.

But I can live without that. So most importantly - do my fields look ok? (on a side note most of the unpainted stuff and a good portion of the periphery stuff will be cropped out when I attempt to use a more parchmenty background).

[J.Edward]

Yeah, i think they look good. I will say that the colors seem to contend with each other.
The brighter more saturated green grass doesn't feel quite right with the field color.
I have something I can try to show you tomorrow for doing that furrowed look. Off to bed now though.

[J.Edward]

Larb - this is what I was going to show you.
I based it on the image you linked to.
Those furrows look a lot bigger than what I saw in your fields so in my example I did them bigger.
I scribbled some info on the images so I didn't have to type as much.


Hope that is helpful/useful. If you have any question about it just ask.
It may not be the look you would want but that is what I would do to convey those furrowed fields.

Wow, a tutorial on making farm fields if I ever saw one! Sharing your technique and actual brush settings is really awesome, J.Edward, thanks so much!!

[J.Edward]

Thanks chick.
Just hope it's helpful.
