I picked my name because I feel like I'll pretty much always be a noob... no matter how good I get at this, I'll always feel like there's way more to know lol.

If you have a favourite gameworld, even from a video game, perhaps that could be a good subject for you to tackle with a map?
I think my favorite game world would be a hard map... It's the world from Skies of Arcadia. A whole bunch of floating islands and atmospheric currents... Kinda hard to map. But I do like a few other game worlds lol. I'm sure I'll have plenty of mapping opportunity. I have plenty of ideas for cool maps. I just lack talent at the moment.
