i'm digging the addition of colour! seems like things are going along swimmingly
So I'm running a Star Wars game for some friends of mine and I've gotten more serious about improving as a map maker, probably because we are running it through Roll20 on a TV so that players can see the maps and I don't want to take my players out of the immersion because of quick crappy sketches that I've used for a while now. Instead of just popping up things where I think they might go I'm going to put stuff here because I am looking for feedback and suggestions for improvement.
Some of the things I'll post here will be rough sketches and some will be my attempts to color them in.

The Hoth base looks quite on brand for a meld of SW with AD&D, well done. The color is an excellent addition.
I always turn my layer off and on again to check before I start due to having messed up layers severely before. It's a habit you'll definitely notice in my screen recordings, every once in a while I'll pause and double check it's the right layer by toggling it on and off.
Brushes depend on what program you're in.

Thank you very much. I'm still working on getting more and more of a SW feel to the maps that I'm making. I'm considering that a fair amount of that might be from the various details that are included in the map. For the software I'm using photoshop cs6 and I just keep tweaking brushes fairly constantly. I like the last one I did so I'll probably be using a bit more here and there.
I'll have to remember the on and off trick... Wait did you also just fix my router?

If there's a seam I am not noticing it. The colors are fine to me. You would get more of the 'computer screen glow' if you did it digitally as 'overlay' rather than watercolor, that might be what's throwing you off, the expectation of the luminescence that's not going to be present in the gentler media? This one is really scratching my 'Star Wars' itch though, that bay of x-wings is delightful.
