Well it turns out I had to finish the map today, as the product that it's being included is being released tomorrow morning!

1. So I created a hand-drawing of the forest/trees and rice paddies.

2. Next I created a beveled trees and rice paddies.

3. Applied the forest to the map.

4. Labels and cut the edges to final rectangle format.

5. This is the cover design for the product being released tomorrow at the Paizo Store - and probably later at RPGNow/DriveThruRPG
