Is this podcast on iTunes already? We need to get you there so I can get these vidcasts into my computer and iPod.

Yeah, those are nice. On the Ancient Fortress map, it looks like there is a layer of brown underneath the green. I really like the blending and shadow effects he gets - it looks really natural.

Yep; looks like he has an earth layer and a grass layer on top of that. I'd do it as a solid layer of each and then mask out the grass. If you use a soft brush you'd be able to get a nice, natural looking transition. And I'd probably reduce the opacity on the grass to let just a hint of the earth peek through.

Not yet, but you can download the .mov files at Revver if want to save a copy on your computer.
