aaa thank you! this is done unreferenced, pulled from my experience hiking in the northern pacific west. before i went out and did the actual hiking for myself, i'd tend to pull from aerial mountain photos, or videos taken from planes. i find that the scope of it all just makes the perspective pop. looking down and looking up a mountain feel the same, and i love the variety it affords
i try really hard to not go too in depth on making the shapes look 100% right. i start with my second darkest color, and add lighter colors from there until i add the darkest and lightest last. but if i stayed trying to make it look 'right', i'd be stuck forever lol

That looks a lot like the region Azshara from WoW. If you're in the market for an mmo and like this sort of scenery, it's fascinatingly close :0
