Reply With QuoteI like it, but my one "issue" is that the tree pattern is noticeably repeated.
The Forest Ruins
This was an idea that came to me tonight. It also turned into a experiment in creating things myself. All the elements except for the ground texture were created by me.

Even if I am correct, I would still advise you to follow your heart. This whole Cartographers Guild thing, it seems to me, is more about passion and skill and learning new techniques than it is about definitions and rules.

I see what you mean. I need to draw a few more kinds of trees

Yeah, it might not be a repeated pattern but they're all the same size and shape. Pretty cool, though. I'd see me using this.

looks very nice.. got 2 little comments: the trees look rather large in comparison to the ruins. In addition to the comments above, try throwing a (or more) colored cloud layer (or the gimp equivalent) over the trees to tint them differently.

I decided that since I was starting this over, it would make sense to work on some details. I always enjoy encounter maps that are very detailed with lots of "bits and bobs" that help make the scene. I started work on that principle here. I also made everything bigger to get the scale a bit better.

And here is the "Original" version of this with some color variation on the trees.

I finally settled on some trees that I liked. I had originally layered the castle ruins and moved them a click or two over on each layer for a sense of depth but decided that I didn't really like the effect and went with a simple shading instead. All in all I like how this turned out. I think a encounter map of the floor plan of the main house may be next....
