Been lurking around here for a while, and decided to show my never-ending WIP map of our DnD game.

The map is made in Xara Xtreme, and all vector (apart from the monsters/animals/ships decorations, which are bitmaps that I shamelessly stole from different places on the web - map is for personal use only btw). I made a mask for every country on the map to make it easy to print seperate countries. I'm still trying to find a good way to represent different types of vegetation. Currently it only shows "forests" and a single swamp, but getting good results in both the continent-scale map and the country-scale map is tricky. Not too happy about the way the mountains are represented, but drawing them by hand in a perspective style is way too much work (and I lack the talent for that as well). I have seen some great tutorials on how to do them in Photoshop, but I really want to stick to vectors.

Comments very welcome.
