Well done map! I really like the water details and coastlines--very interesting and rich. I am not sure the yellow is my favorite, for it seems so bare and arid instead of rich or lush--was that the effect you were looking for? I also agree the font isn't well suited to the map--it is rather...

Hey, Blackrat: Nice map--especially for MS Paint! Have you ever thought of upgrading to either a pay software set (like Campaign Cartographer or Dundjinni) OR downloading a free graphics program (like Inkscape or the GIMP). Why do I ask? Well, as I looked at your map I kept thinking to...

Hi, Craig. Hey, nice start on that map--especially from using Paint! (wowee! ;) ) I can think of a few suggestions for you in the finishing department, but as for layout I also have a couple questions that may help. For example, rivers generally run from higher elevations (esp. mountains)...

That's a neat site. Impressive in its detail especially. I also like how consistent many of its maps are. As for style, the hand painted look is one of my favorites, but I think I like Jared Blando's more (see http://www.theredepic.com/). Nice find, Mark. Thanks!

Holy cow! I haven't thought of Alpha Flight in a long time! That was my comic of choice back in the 80s; In storage I have issues 1 - about 30 or 40 in mint condition. May have to pull them back out and take a glance. Thanks for bringing back the memories! & thanks also for reminding me of...

Nicely done! I must say your B&W's are especially excellent. (I like Ridithidor the most; you caught such a wonderful expression on his face--says a lot about his personality...although maybe he's a bit bitter now that he's of Orc blood?) Your color work for some reason really loses...

Nice map, rlucci. Very well done. As I said over at the Cartographers' Guild, this map is very clean and crisp--which seems divergent from the "horror" theme of a vampire setting. I know you're emulating West's style, but I would add more mood and tone by some overlays, grunge brushes...

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...

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!

Point taken. That would be pretty cool! ;) Feeeel the power........

First off, thanks for making these generators--ours are probably the best random-generated maps out there! I would be happy with any of the improvements and/or new generators that you suggest. Town jump immediately to mind--mainly because cities are fewer in number and more tailor-made...

If you know how to use any graphics program--no matter how simple--you could draw this & set lines to dashed (or, even less sophisticated, just erase segments of the line to make the dashes.) Really, what you're looking for is very, very simple. :) Just some ideas. Have fun!

Wow--nice work! I can't think of much to suggest, aside from the fancification of some of the basic things you've done (ex: the tan of the stronghold is a bit bland, etc.)--but I'm sure you're not at that stage yet, since you're still writing it all up. I am really impressed with your...

What a great idea to do two maps showing progression in time--most rpg cartographers don't think of that (or at least don't commit their thoughts to paper), so I salute that idea. Nice one! Dundjinni is a neat program. Have you ever thought of doing any post-work in Gimp or PS? I can see...

lol ;) It's okay, I dug out the chewed Pringles nuggets from between the keys once they dried. All's well!
