A couple town maps

Hello, everyone. Here are a couple town maps I created while playing around with Photoshop styles and techniques. For the second (Faesiddex), I'm not only posting the original "realist" map but also the filtered image created from it intended to faintly suggest hand-painting.

Take care!

Very cool.

Of the three, the first one is my favourite - probably because trees/forests look especially nice on that one.

Very nice.

Great maps!

Thanks very much for your comments. I appreciate them.

I thought I would add two other items here as well, just for fun--a couple experiments I ran on Faesiddex, the second of the above two maps.

The first image is a locations "key map" I created. This would serve as a DM's companion to the general map, posted above. I created this because IMO trying to label too much on one map lent to clutter and detracted from the original. I'm not sure I like the color scheme of this key map, but it was a fun test run. Of course, a DM would need to insert many more locations that the handful I included on this version!

The second image is a perspective view of the town, heavily filtered and touched-up to mock a watercolor painting. My original idea was to use Bryce to create an actual 3D representation, but my interest in learning that program lagged so I just faked it in Photoshop just for the hey of it. Not a great end result IMHO, but it was a surprisingly quick and relaxing task.

Anyway, take care!
