    ok well I'm on the 2nd floor I've changed the rug and notice there are a few things I also need to fix. The "courtyard" entry is supposed to have 2 statues in them. If anyone has some statues that would fit this map let me know. Remember its a school of magic, so either some sort of D&D type magic monster (unaligned or good prefered) or a spell caster. But overall I am pleased with the image itself. BTW I made 5 or 6 different bookshelfs using your set up, very nice. It was pretty easy once I figured out how they where assembled. And I like the simplistic design of the books, makes it very easy to just bucket a color in there to add variety.

    The 2nd floor is nearly done, I just need to paint the tiles and add some stuff to it, and then I will post it. I've come to realize that makin' the maps really isn't that difficult its really just a repeating pattern. I learned it from watching the script run as I was making my first dungeon, and then just tweaked it (adding layers for objects, object shadows, etc).

    Now is there a better place to store images so that way I can post the full size shots, so you guys can see it better?

    Yea... I don't understand. The link to the image on photobucket is no where near the size limit you can upload here. That one is something like ~525 x ~800 or so and only around 750 KB.

    the images are 11.2 w by 17.147 h in inches. That's a few thousand pixels. I'll look into photobucket and see what i can do to "adjust" the d/l size.
    Also...I AM DONE!!!!!!!!! I just need to place it in maptools and add some "stuff" lol
