Good work! I only looked at the first of the three parts, but it looked pretty good.
I have another thread going following my attempts to make a city using the original text-only tutorial The Ascention wrote detailing his method of creating towns using Photoshop. I got pretty far into it when I realized I had made a couple huge mistakes. That's ok, I will eventually complete it, and it will serve as an excellent guide on what NOT to do, and also show how to correct some of the errors I made.
I decided to instead focus my efforts on implementing the tutorial exactly as written and simply dropping screenshots into the original word document. Ultimately to be converted to a PDF. As I got going, I also did some reformatting and broke down some of the more complex steps. I have made considerable progress, and I thought now would be a good time to get the initial version out there and start getting comments. It is HUGE, since most steps take up entire page so I could show as much detail as possible.

Hey thanks for extending the Walkthrough Platticus; I only wish there were a GIMP translation of this tut. Who knows, perhaps some day I'll get brave enough to attempt a town tut in GIMP.
Cheers,

Even if I am correct, I would still advise you to follow your heart. This whole Cartographers Guild thing, it seems to me, is more about passion and skill and learning new techniques than it is about definitions and rules.
