Hello all! It's been a month since I've updated you all on where Tierajas-Verdes is, and there has been a lot of development from last update. I can't much remember how much was done last month since there has been so much work, so I'm going to update you on everything I am sure you haven't been updated on.
To start, following on from the responses last month on the delta of the Changori River, I got JOSM which I have been using since, and have remodeled the delta to something I feel is more realistic to what I wanted.
I've also changed the peninsula a small amount so it's shorter. And the rivers of the country have been thinned...and will probably end up even thinner as I work through. A general over-view of my nation can be found below. Also to note, I have been in contact with georgecg and Oxalia about developing the Cathar Mountain range, mentioned only a few times on the wiki when talking about the Liberan Peninsula. I've only done the rough-massing so far.

Moving onto Parirakbe, it is almost coming to completion in the actual area of the city, moving into the country-side and farm-land. The Metropolitan Area is still far from done, including Bhunda, Chakhat and Magara, as well as a lot of country-side.

I'm experimenting with showing off densely packed blocks much like found in Bangladesh and India. These packed blocks would task far too much for myself and for OGF I do feel, so I'm only showing separate buildings along the main highways, while everything else that is too complicated to map are one massive blob of building. What you think of the idea?

Finally the last thing I want to show is the town of Bhunda, just to show you it's development to set up for further diaries. I think I got a different feel of settlement compared to Parirakbe, so I'm happy. One worry is that my style would be a one-trick-pony.
Punto de Christopher has been developed well since the last time I updated, there is now expansion to the south, including a green-belt of farms and forest, a docks and a newer developed residential/office/industrial area. There is still far to go however.

And finally, I have started on the largest Metropolitan Area in size, The Goldils-Changhi Metropolitan Area including Goldils, Chaangee Said, Dal Bhogi and many many smaller incorporated villages and towns. This again is a different feel to an area, being the combined metropolitan area of many settlements, instead of a massively expanded city like Parirakbe or Punto de Christopher.

That's my update for January this year. For January's Luciano's Mappers Challenge I've been working on the collaborative Federation of Drevet and Wustesonne. If you want to have a look at my projects submitted for it, look Here, Here, and Here, the last being a collaboration with a newer member of OGF, who in my terms, has graduated :P
