I came across this website some time ago, some of you may have seen it, but it's always worth a look. Make sure you have some time to sit and explore, it's a biggie:
http://www.santharia.com
The author of the site has completely mapped the world. Just to speed things along, here are some direct links to the maps. (Which he made in Photoshop) I think they are outstanding, myself:

http://www.santharia.com/maps/contin...ia_north_4.htm
http://www.santharia.com/maps/contin...ands_coast.htm
He was also kind enough to include on the site a fairly comprehensive tutorial on his techniques:

Hope this kicks everyone's creative juices in to overdrive for the new year.

Rellay cool maps. Ilike that black/white style thought I think some sepia filters on it would be nice too
Come to where the kobolds are...

Yeah that would be good, like weathered paper or something. Maybe a little burn here and there with some grunge brushes. He also showed near the end of the tute some examples of other textures. I thought his work was really well done!
His tutorial is really well done. I like the look of these maps as well.
Great tutorials, I hadn't thought about using the lighting effects like that.
loyd
The site is amazingly done. I LOVE browsing through websites that encompass entire campaign settings...I get ideas for my own campaign. I would liek to set up a wiki if my players cared enough about the goings on of the world outside of their own scope.
This site is great though...still browsing hehehe.

LOL I discovered that site over a year ago, and I STILL go back and browse it every now and then. ...always something new!
I found this site recently and it great. Very nice effects. The site gas some symbols that can be downloaded. I did that and made PNG files of them. I came up with this map using the symbols and MapX.
not too shabby istarlome. I'm not really 100% on the placement of the items...and I think the trees need some shadow or something...but nice adaptation of existing symbols...would be great for those that don't have time to hand draw maps every time.
