Wanted to go ahead and say hi to everyone, since I've been using tutorials and tips from this site. I got really tired of my simple MS paint map, though it was functional it wasn't really pretty. So I started looking into ways to make it look better and came across this site and WOW. I'm one of those people who can't draw to save my life, and even my stick figures are deformed lol, so I never thought I could really make something that looked decent until I came here and started playing around with what I could do. Chose GIMP as my program and have been LOVING the tutorials here. Just want to say thanks to everyone who so kindly allows people to leech off of their techniques to learn how to make better maps.
