That worked perfectly. Here's what I've got now at this point, complete with 'tokens' to represent PCs and enemies. There's still some areas where I don't feel like it's quite looking right. For example, I'm still not all that happy with how the dock looks, but I'm having a difficult time finding any sort of fill (at the moment) that can duplicate the piecemeal of dock planking. In addition, the road isn't really looking the way I'd want it to at best, but again, that's something I can play with and figure out later. My main goal is learning how to do a lot of these tricks now so that I can begin to use GIMP to churn out good looking encounter maps without 'too' heavy of a time investment. Thus practicing lol
