Of all the tutorials I looked through, the easiest and most useful for me was by RobA "Using GIMP to Create an Artistic Regional RPG Map". I still had to follow it through a few times, still I started to get the hang of GIMP and the process he was outlining. But it was worth it in the end.

Try it out and always have fun!

I'll check out that tut, the more the merrier at this point!

Having fun is the plan man, thanks for the comment and the link!

It did look to be going well at the start tho so take solace from that and have another go !
re:tablet; I'll check that out! Maybe I'll be able to get one soonish.

Thanks! I will give it another go! And yeah, I knew it started going bad with the coloring, I just really wasn't grasping what exactly the overlays were doing and why certain colors had certain effects on them, that's something I'll have to research more for sure!
