Early style test
I was playing around with a different style and got this. Thoughts?

Nice colours on the second one. Looks very "authentic".

The second looks kind of watercolory, the first looks more stylish to me.

Kudos to you torstan.
I prefer the second. I can't determine depth off the first.
Okay, so we're liking the way this is going then. I think turning on the wet brush setting for the next shot will be a good idea. I'll see what I can drum up.

Reminds me of when i was playing around with the Oten Jo map
My finished maps
"...sometimes the most efficient way to make something look drawn by hand is to simply draw it by hand..."
For some reason I like the first version more, it looks cleaner and has more expression.
I like both of them, for the most part. However, the second one, with its "smudgier" look, strikes me as something that might serve as a player hand-out. A mysterious map found by the characters. It's not clean and precise and looks, instead, like something that was done in a hurry by an "amateur," maybe on a scrap piece of paper/parchment with charcoal or small hunk of burnt wood, before it was misplaced. It could very easily, IMHO, make for a great adventure hook. Either way, it's looking like an interesting development, and I'll have to keep my eye on this thread.

When nothing is going right and you can't find someone else to blame, start beating your head against the wall, 'cause it'll feel so much better when you stop.
