Evolution of elevation; aka How I got where I am

[Ascension]

I rumaged through my old D&D boxed sets from the 80s (red-basic, blue-expert, teal-companion, black-master, and gold-immortal) and found some old maps, including an epic 41-level dungeon with 1280+ rooms. I scanned a couple of these in to think about tweaking them since these were done some 24 years ago. That dungeon could provide Turgenev a back-up if his machine ever breaks down I'll hold onto that for a bit cuz it will take quite a while to scan all of that in.

The third image here is the first map I did using Photoshop in September of 2005. The fourth is from February 2006 and the fifth is from March 2006. As you can see I didn't map so prolifically as I do now so the evolution was quite slow. Since joining the guild I crank out a map every week or so until I get burned out then I take a month off.
