Welcome to the guild, Pillbox and may you spend many happy days producing wonderful maps!
Thanks guys,
I have been working on a snow map for sometime, and I have changed it many times now. I am probably going to go with this one as I am now needing to put these into play (still need to set them up in maptools).
So, here is my attempt at a snow map. Please let me know what you think.
(I have had trouble with the attachments ... they keep timing out. I guess the maps are too big).

That is sweet! Have some rep... I hope you don't mind, but I would like to grab this for use in MT if your ok with that.
As for the upload, that happens when the image pixel size (no matter wht the file size is) goes over some limit, though I am not sure what that limit is. the problem is that the forum is trying to make a thumbnail and barfs on it. Arcana is aware and looking into the issue....

I have been messing around with another winter map, but this time I wanted a frozen pond. I have tried this several times, but just do not like the effect. It seems to sandy too me.
What do you guys think of this one?

Really nice... I think the lines on the ice could be toned down a bit. Other than than, I think the ice is pretty nice. Not sure what I would try on the ice though.. perhaps a bit of spread, perhaps a bit more blur. I think the big thing for me is that the lines are all fairly straight (mostly) and pretty much all the same direction. However, I would have not problem using this map and I don't think anyone would have to really stretch to know that this is a frozen pond...
