I occasionally dabble with illustrator, and I've also just got hold of Poser5 (when they were giving it away for free the other day) - which will be used to create 'overhead-views' of statues and the like.So as an example... the following church map (which is still very much a WIP) was roughed out in draw4, then all the textures, shadows. etc. were added in photoshop.... and finally the statue image was created in poser5.<a href="http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c265/hador_goldenhead/church.jpg" target="_blank">http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c265/hador_goldenhead/church.jpg</a>For my actual world-map ...it's entirely done with vector graphics - a small example of which looks something like this:<a href="http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c265/hador_goldenhead/northmap.jpg" target="_blank">http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c265/hador_goldenhead/northmap.jpg</a>And then maps like the following one are 90% photoshop:<a href="http://www.enworld.org/CrookedStaffProductions/condeltun.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.enworld.org/CrookedStaffProductions/condeltun.jpg</a>So I guess I will use whatever I have at my disposal in order to get the desired effect. Heh... I still have the free software that came with my scanner installed... just because it has a rather easy to use 'gem' effect that I like to use from time to time <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />hmmm... maybe I do spend too much time on them... maybe I should get out more <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
