OKAY!
I did it, I made something I am proud of and plan to use!
It started with a Tut, A simple a nice Tut...I like the word Tut..

Thanks to this man right here, I downloaded gimp for the first time, and went to town!
THIS!
Is the outcome...
I went with something VERY simple, and then once I felt comfortable on my perch. I jumped off the cliff and prayed I could fly. I found out that when just doodleing with snap to grid on it made a nice squiggle effect, I used this to make trees. Then, experimented with the right color shades to be able to reflect grass from tree's without the use of shadows.
Lastly I added colored floors for the building, making this what I am calling a Neo-Classic map! I am just so proud of myself right now!
Sometimes when I feel really alone, I think about how aggravating it would be to have the company of an idiot. Then, everything is okay.

Looks like a little church of some kind...I can't wait to pillage it with my mates and steal the gold. I mean come for a nice visit and pray respectfully. Clean and simple is highly under-done these days so I say nice job.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

That's a good start!
and that's a great way of doing trees, I hadn't thought of anything along those lines.

Thanks for the rep. I'm really glad it came in useful - and that's a nice clear map you've got there. Now with that under your belt you're well set to cut a swathe through the forums
Good job.
It looks good. Only thing I would change is to strengthen the grid lines. I have played many miniature games both casually and competitively, and the biggest complaint I have heard is difficult to see grid lines.
Otherwise, well done!
