[QUOTE="Kris, post: 2292470, member: 3745"] Most of the map was drawn in photoshop (though I did draw some basic shapes in a vector graphics program, simply because I am more familiar with it's commands - as I'm still learning with photoshop). I've heard quite a few people mention gimp - but I have never used it (so I can't really comment on it). Also HellHound - thanks for drawing a similarity with some of the maps that appear in Dungeon magazine :) (I am really flattered that you think it's of a similar quality - cool :) ). I did have that kind of 'look' in mind when attempting this - though I purposely did not dig any of my old magazines out when actually drawing it - as I didn't want to blatantly copy their style (or try to just duplicate what they already do), but it has turned out to be somewhat similar. It's took quite some time to get looking just the way I want it, and despite what I said in my last post, I have adjusted a few things that were bothering me (not that anyone will notice, so I won't bore you all with another pic). Anyway, I should now be able churn out any future maps of this kind a little quicker now that I know what I'm doing (well... almost know what I'm doing :P ) - as this one was basically a test, to see if I could pull it off. Thanks again! PS - just another thought about the final pdf I make of this map... would it be more useful to people if I were to leave the name (i.e. New-Edor) off the map so that it can be used to represent a little settlement in their own campaign world??
