Yes its really nice - never did discover how the shadows were done. Surely not hand painted in Photoshop tho...
Anyway - I reckon a featured map candidate !

Wow. Thanks for all the compliments! It was a big hit with my gaming group too.
@Fister - I have thought of making a short tutorial for some of the techniques I used. As soon as I have some free time I'm going to try and put something together.
@RPMiller - Feel free to post a link to it. The thought of others using a map I made is just, well cool! =)
@Redrobes - some of the shadows actually are hand drawn in Photoshop. Some are just default drop shadows too though. But the trees for example, are actually just one tree which I then copied, rotated and resized. Then to give them some depth and the illusion of volume, I painted on shadows "within" the trees as a sort of overlay using a tablet. I'm really happy with the way they came out. The tent shadows are hand done too. And yet the shadows from the walls are NOT drop shadows. That's actually one of the techniques I want to make a tutorial for.

Done.I've asked folks to let you know if they use it.
Here is a link to the post I made: http://forums.rptools.net/viewtopic.php?t=3829
Would you mind posting a version without the grid though? Most VTTs are able to overlay their own grid and it is easier to line things up that way plus allows those of us that prefer different types of grids to use them.
Bill Stickers is innocent! It isn't Bill's fault that he was hanging out in the wrong place.

Hey, I had to create an account over here just to view that map (came from RPTools), and, it was worth it! Got any more stuff of that calibur?
Loads of it
oh and I cant wait for that battlemat tutorial. I think I have already repped once but I might make and exception and double it for the tut too.
I really love the look and feel of the trees. Can you tell how you did them? I would give anything for a bunch of trees like that so I can stamp them down in Maptool
