Ace? I highly encourage developing your hand-drawn skills if you can...but give digital a go as well. My first attempts at pure digital weren't so hot so I got out some paper and pencil and went to town (with an insanely detailed 14"x17" city map). These days I find myself going right to the computer, though I'd be more than happy to pull out a pad of paper if I thought it'd benefit the map. So, welcome to the Guild. Let's see what you've got. And. Have some rep for (what I assume is) a Red Dwarf reference. One of my favorite shows though I only have it on VHS and haven't watched in a while. Made me smile.
