I got a little more done this evening after work. Quite pleased with the way the terracing has worked out.

Yes, I see.

I think I'm stuck in dungeon mode at the moment. I'm automatically assuming that everything is lit from above, which is quite wrong since the shadows in the map indicate a north west light source. I might flip that to a more realistic angle from the south, bearing in mind the position of the continent in the northern hemisphere.

I made more trouble for myself by making the snow really thin. Maybe it should all be in the valley bottom with the slope bare.

Anyway! I decided that snow loaded pines looked wrong on the ground that wasn't snowy and switched them out (maybe temporarily) for trees from Darklands City.

I like the map with these colours, but it doesn't really make sense.

I've got one of those. You might have to work a bit with fills and so on.

Hmmm.

Considering whether some kind of wake can be shown behind a tree...

DD4 is most of what I do these days ;)

A little background info on the village...

The people of Elkton are a mix of dwarves and humans - many of mingled blood. Some of the inhabitants prefer to live underground, especially in winter.

There are mines in the foothills of the mountains just to the north of the village where most of the people work to extract precious gems. Among the most highly sought gems are called elk diamonds for their sheer size - hence 'Elkton'

The mining community are supported by hunters and fur traders, but they don't have an easy time. Other predators compete for the game but are rarely seen by anything other than their tracks. It is rumoured that some of the hunters are more than just human or dwarf. There may be werewolves living in this community, but if there are their identities are unknown.

There is also a rumour that the pureblood dwarves have a secret cavern somewhere in this area where the largest and most perfect elk diamond is housed in a secret temple of wealth.
