    Hahaha I've also thought of doing forest sections before, and was actually thinking about it again this afternoon. And something similar with ocean elements, too. Too funny

    Chashio - here's the stuff I was talking about.
    The first 2 are the local and regional sizes, relatively speaking. The regional really should be to a bit different scale.

    And then an early test I did with them. It's a really rough degenerate forest but it conveys the concept.
    I did it quite a while back. I've improved since. Two versions in progress.

    And then some more map icons. Iso this time. I used some of these for the Northlands.
    They worked out fairly well, though I had to downsize them.

    And last, a little color scale for a topo map I am working on.
    I have since changed the colors as I found a better, more harmonious color scheme.
    Plus 2 samples of that topo.

    Guess that makes up for not posting much in a while.

    edit - apparently I took too long to post and you slipped past me.

    Man, I wish I could draw that rough and degenerately

    Thanks Abu. I didn't think I would have such a big gap in time.
    I thought I would be updating the thread every few weeks with new experiments.

    I thought you might enjoy it Chashio. I had some other tree/forest things but i couldn't find them.
    I'll have to keep looking.

    chick - I just meant the dubious color and texturing.
    It was a bit of a frustrated day when I was working on that forest. It wasn't coming out as I had planned.

    I'd be interested in what you were going to do for the ocean elements.
    I am thinking but can't figure what you'd be doing. Waves... islands... ?
    Did you do any of them?

    Stylized waves and sea creatures, mainly, but I haven't made any elements yet. Though I have done some rough degenerate sketches in varying degrees of interest and thought about it a lot... I'll probably get around to actually doing it sometime soon, haha.

    I absolutely love your iso icons! Too bad you're not eligible for the current Lite Challenge, because I think you would have walked it with these.

    Fantastic and inspriational work, as always, J.

    Can I ask what you font you use. Is it one of the Fell typefaces? You used the same one on some of your LotR maps, I believe.
