And here more or less what I was commenting on in the previous post. Transforming the six zones into six kingdoms of distinct races (or cultures). More of a political division than a geographical one like the previous one.

Hey Royal my friend! I am really impressed with the amount of detail in this map. It took a lot of time and work to arrange all these elements together. Congratulations! The transition from the background to the "civilized" part of the kingdom is very subtle and progressive.

The only suggestion/challenge is to listen to the words of the master @Dak and make all the trees by hand, one by one. Also for my understanding it is a monastic task - lol - and aesthetically where I notice the difference in the finishing.

Whenever possible, I usually use this technique to facilitate my work in speed, because giving variety to a forest or chain of mountains/hills is a task that really requires a lot of patience, but once it is automated, it is usually relatively fast.

So before I start drawing, I preselect all the mountains, hills and trees that I want (mostly) beforehand. One by one (group), I press the tab key incessantly until I "go back" through all the images in that segment (I don't know the technical terms, sorry).

Once I've done the whole process on all the mountains, hills and trees I want (including cities and buildings in case I want to make a cityscape for example) I start drawing.

Then I switch to the folder on the bottom left, the options (selected items) and work there more quickly, choosing the image I want to give more variety.

With the attached file, I made this quick image of five examples of mixing trees from different image sets to compose a certain vegetation environment.

Default terrains are just to "separate" the groups.

Although I normally add this effect to an image editing program, the other day while playing with CC3, the possibility of exporting the original image with this effect built in came to mind. This effect is Vignette.

In photography and painting is an aesthetic effect that creates a gradual darkening or lightening of the edges of an image or canvas, directing the viewer's attention to the center or to a specific area of ​​the composition. This feature can occur intentionally or accidentally and has different applications and meanings in both contexts.

Some of them are:

Directing the Eye - Vignette is often used to guide the viewer's eye to the point of interest in the image, usually located in the center.

Creating Atmosphere - Darker tones at the edges can create a dramatic or introspective effect, while lighter edges can convey lightness or serenity.

Natural Framing - It acts as a "frame" for the scene, keeping the focus within the composition and reducing peripheral distractions.

Emphasis on Subject - In painting, the use of softer or darker tones at the edges helps to highlight the main subject of the work.

Impression of Depth - The gradual tonal transition can create the illusion of three-dimensionality or that the subject is emerging from the darkness.

Narrative and Drama - Vignettes are used to emphasize emotional or symbolic context, reinforcing feelings of isolation, mystery, or introspection.

Natural Focus - In the absence of digital vignettes, artists use brushstrokes or color choices to soften the edges of the composition, naturally guiding the eye.

To achieve this effect, I used Mike Schley's Contours sea, moving the SHEET above all the icons in the image. After that, an inner edge fade is applied to the Contours by adjusting the Edge Width.

Light vignette, where the edges of an image or painting are made lighter than the center, is a less common technique than dark vignette but equally powerful. This effect creates a sense of openness, lightness, or surreality and has specific applications in photography and painting.

Although the mountains are not so "peaky" and are easier to fit together to make a Sierra/mountain range, I agree with Quenten.

If I could choose, I would leave these "peaky" hills - because more and more and infinite icons are always useful, but also smooth hills.

If I had to choose between the two, I prefer go with the smoother ones.

P.S.: The shape of the mountains is really beautiful. The first time I saw the image with all the icons together, they completely captured my attention.

I also comment that the viewing angle of the mountains and hills is very beautiful, I don't know if that is the correct term to express it.

This topic has already gone off topic. So change the topic name to Ricko's Tough Questions. 🤣

This way I save it in my bookmarks, and all my questions about using the program, and it's also easier to find.

I think buildings are still a bit lacking in the cities. Specific oriental, Greco-Roman, African and Meso-American buildings would be a great addition to the collection.

As for the floorplan, battlemap, dungeon:

Library, Church (more variety of statues and idols).

Loose items: Weapons and armor, robes, staffs, bows, etc.

More decorative elements for gardens and squares, flowers

Casino and gambling items

Ruins and rubble

Graves, tombstones, ruined temples, shrines

Image patches with different ground textures like Sue did in forest trail

Roots and vines

Rope bridge

Tents and huts

Ruined stairs

More floor symbols, whether sacred or cursed (circular, triangular, loose runes, etc.).

Craters

Sleeping bag

Luxury furniture

Hello brother welcome!

I suggest you start with Joe's videos, they cover the first steps in the program very well.
