    Map The town of Tiefenbruch

    Hi all,

    I used rpgmapmakers beautiful (and free) tree and house brushes to create the following map. As I am a beginner, any suggestions are welcome. I am a bit "not so sold" on the cave entrance on the left and on the lake.

    Many many thanks to rpgmapmaker for his great brushes.

    Thank you guys, it took quite some effort and I learned a lot about gimp and mapmaking. I am still not really happy with the water so if anyone has suggestions for a different water effect I would be listening...

    One quick observation about water ... it is usually all about light reflected off the waves, so changing the black lines in the water to white might help.

    The ideas with the white helped! It looks much better. Still some improvements possible (thiner lines and some blur) but I will get to this when some other things I am working on are sorted out...
