Thank you! :)

I think the elven houses are my favourite at the moment, though I did have a huge amount of fun with a slightly over-exuberant volcano this afternoon.

I quite like the idea of Brightlands.

Open to more suggestions...

Well, I might and I might not. Let's see how it goes. Just changing the colours can make quite a dramatic difference, and that's easy because it's all controlled by the palette colours blended to a single parchment background, so you could have a range of palettes to suit your mood with the map. Here is a much darker, greyer version I tested this morning.

Or... I could just admit that I like it the way it is and call it something else - leaving the gap available for someone else to fill. I have a very flexible style, but as with all things there are limits. Maybe it would be better to leave this niche for someone else to fill, and call the style something else?

And then the next question is - what should I call it?

By the way - those settlements in the bottom left are meant to be orc ;)

As for the upside down geysers... it looks fine to me, and I wouldn't have known what it was if you hadn't told me.

The list of effects on that sheet are shown in the panel on the right hand side, where you can see that the Glow you just added is currently at the bottom of the list.

That means it will happen after the Outer Glow and the Drop Shadow, which is not an ideal place to have a Glow effect, as it will be applied to all the existing effects before it - a glow around the Outer Glow and the Drop Shadow.

We couldn't see the effects on your TEXT sheet before, but now it is easier to say that it might have been better just to edit the Outer Glow, which you can do by picking it with a single click and hitting the EDIT button on the right of the panel. When you are editing the Outer Glow you will see that you can adjust the opacity and extent of the glow, and Apply the changes you make to check your adjustments.

Once you have finished editing the Outer Glow you might actually want to delete the new Glow you just added. To do that you pick the Glow and click the DELETE button beside the panel. NOT the DELETE button at the bottom, or you will delete the Effects Presets by mistake, which you will later regret.

Here is a quick and rather scrappy explanation. Sorry - I seem to be developing a hand tremor and there is no 'smooth stroke' option with this screen annotator.

Here is the latest extract of the style showing some of the structures I've been working on.

And this is mine.

These don't really qualify as map notes. They are more of a description, or a tourist guide if you like.
