Goblin Lair Battle Map

What techniques would you suggest to achieve this?

Basically what ravells said. If you ever see a texture that you can use... store it. My personal texture folder is still quite small, but when I see something I think I can use, I take it. Right now you're 'drawing' with colours, but like you applied a texture to the ground, you can also do so to the cave-walls, and you can use a 'dirt' texture, but for dirt you could also use a messy brush, and throw in some nasty looking colours until you are satisfied. Experiment, another good thing is to follow some of the tutorials here which focus on textures.

I used photoshop with symbols borrowed from Profantasy DD3. I'll look at downloading some other programs this week.

Thanks guys.
