    You didn't hijack it at all, Don. The reason we do live sessions is for people to ask questions.

    First stage of refinement for the now-named "Mountain Spine 01" symbol.

    I've been staring and staring at Google Earth images of the Himalayas for ages and decided the easiest way to do this in a CC3 map from above is to make a spine and stick side ridges on it here and there.

    The old bevel mountains are still visible at the moment. I'm using them as a reference for the colour and shade required.

    Once I've worked out how to do the ends, and whether this is possibly a connecting symbol or better placed by hand, I can do variations in wiggly-ness, curve and length.

    I thought you might like to see some of the process involved in creating the mapped mountains.

    Here is the first prototype ridge - a simple edge faded thick line of the red tundra and a rocky texture for the spine.

    And here it is in CC3 combined with a crude map file to test colours.

    Don't worry - the volcanoes were just as crude when I started with them. This is just the initial stage - working out textures and colours.

    I think I might have sorted out the general volcanic theme. If you are happy with this as the toolkit I'll make the mirror copies of the volcano symbols.
