Live Mapping: Custom City Map

Birdseye Continental - style development thread
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.
