Can you please click the colour swatch in the top bar to reveal the palette, and take a screen shot for us, RyanosRealm?

The ODW was written several years ago now. Since then there has been a notable blog, a new version of FT3, and at least one Cartographer's Annual that relate to it and update things somewhat. If you show me your palette I will have a better idea of how to help you from where you are, rather than trying to work it out in my head.

Thanks :)

I had the CorelDraw 11 Suite. After that it got too expensive to carry on, though, so I ended up more or less abandonning digital art till I got CC3.

You're welcome :)

Experimentation is a great way to find out what you can do with the sheet effects.

In this week's livestream Ralf will be returning to the custom city style, and the Rhodenstein map - to finish it up and add final details.

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.
