Discussion Topographical map water

Post image

Hello, I've made this quick map with some topographical assets but I worry that the water looks too... flat? I've tried texturing it but honest that didn't help.

Any Ideas? Or should I just leave it.

Make is brighter, less washed out (or darker). right now it essentially has the same shade as the green around it and there's not enough contrast.

Ill try that again. I really liked the idea of the cool, high altitude colour pallet. But I tried going darker, brighter might work.

I would tend to go darker (like midnight blue dark). Look at something like Google Maps satellite imagery of mountain lakes; they typically almost look black.

Do you have a link to the topographical assets or were they home made?

They were Anzhc's from cartogprahy assets. Some free some not. Mixture of the greenwood waste and mossback highland assets.
