    Post newbie catrographer

    Hey y'all!

    I've been making simple maps for my RPGs for a long time, but they've been functional over pretty. I recently decided to improve my skills and I've been hunting around looking for mapmaking info. This board has amazing references and a lot of great work, so I thought I'd show my appreciation by participating and sharing.

    Here are my two new maps that I've been working on based on what teh internets have taught me. They are simple still, and largely incomplete. I personally think the styles are all over the place--on the outdoor map I feel like the water is very illustrative while the woods are trying to be textured, for example. But hey... I'm still learning!

    Looking forward to feedback... especially on the outdoor map. Once I get a draft done, I'll start a WIP thread to really hone it down. Dungeons are fun, but I feel like they are a little more straightforward. My skills on the outdoor stuff are lacking.

    PS. I'm working mostly in gimp, although I *might* be open to new tools
