Ok I spent other 9 hours on this and I don't feel I am satisfied... What is annoying me is forest ...
Any sugestions on how I could make them to not look either cloned or put of place?

Wow, you are going into an incredible amount of detail. It looks amazing, I love both the mountains and the forests, I think they go well together. My only concern is it might take too much time.. I want to see this finished!
Great stuff, I like the style!
I'm not sure what is bothering you, I think they look fantastic!
Dooh,,,, Ninja'd by Josiah, haha!
And I'd better get my butt in gear and show some progress on my side of the commission.

Thats the other version ...
In the first I added a border to forest with visible tree canopy , undershadow etc but somehow to me they do not match , For some reason the fluffy forest become more blurred and the borders are more detailed, and seems to me they aren't matching ...
This version witout visible tree canopy on borders seems better blending? although is less detailed?
Hmm. That's odd. Yeah, I don't know why, but I like the second one better too.
Could be the thing I wrote above?Originally Posted by Diamond
The second one does seem to look a bit better, but the difference between the two is, I think, a matter of personal taste. Either one looks good to me and I am digging the style approach.

Actually, Naima, I think I understand what it is that's bothering you... you go from a kind of blurred texture fill and then there seems to be some single trees, that mark the end of it. The problem is.. that blurred texture seems to sit on top of the individual trees, and it causes the eyes to cross a little bit... at least it does me.
I don't know what program you are using to make this map, so I don't know if the idea I have would help you, but I know what I would do if it were cc3+. I would use that textured fill you have as the background for the forest, and then lay the more defined treeline on top of the texture. that would give you the look of underbrush in the forest. I don't know if you can do that with the program you have... but I have an example if you wish to see it, just let me know.
