Nice - first post and with a map! Drop a hello in the introduction forum.
The map.... very organic looking. Nice style. What software did you use?

Thanks everyone. You make me feel welcome. Perhaps I'll summon up the needed courage to post some of my other recent bits. After I've fiddled around with them just a bit
For this thing and indeed for almost everything I do I used Photoshop and my trusty Intuos III table. I like to do everything the hard (or stupid) way, namely by hand-drawing and -painting. I do use the occasional layer effect and some textures I have not photographed or drawn myself but most of the stuff is done by hand. It's not very efficient way of working but as this is a hobby I dont have deadlines.Originally Posted by RobA
[edit] Occasionally I use ArtRage2 for small illustration portraits to get that oil on canvas feeling which is not as easy to achieve with PS but even that needs heavy post processing on PS. Currently I'm working on a 17th century-vibe cityscape which is largely based on ArtRage groundwork but thats the first one for me with significant amount of AR-work. I'll post something on that project as soon as there is something tangible enough to present.

So. A long break from drawing. But now my problems with my rig are past and done with.
My main project is still WiP but in the meantime I'll post some updates to this one: depth and current-map and one with data pertinent to my campaign.
Oh well. Some progress is better than no progress at all. Heres to hoping I'll get my main project done soon
The map looks great, but if you're still working on it you might want to put it in the WIP forums instead of the Finished Maps section.

These aren't new maps as such. Just stuff I did not post first time round. I'll try not to make a habit of posting into finished projects.
Well done! That second one could more or less be straight from a FR sourcebook! Looks great.
