[WIP] My First Work in Progress! GIMP

[Sharpe]

Hello!

Thanks for stopping by my first work-in-progress thread.

This is only my second map I've ever made on the computer. I'm not familiar with anything in regards to making maps on a computer, let alone my image editing software, GIMP.

The map is for a role-playing game. Right now, the game uses the map as the game board (just like any other pencil-and-paper RPG), but also has decks of cards. When your character finds one of the several treasure chest located around the maze, you draw a treasure card. The card might have a treasure, or, it might have a trap, in which case you must draw a trap card.

It's not a board game, though. It's a regular RPG played with regular rules (GURPS 4e). There are role-playing encounters and several monsters located around the maze. I just use the cards as a bookkeeping and time-saving method. Don't have to write down what's in every chest! There are also doors that can only be opened by specific magic keys found in the treasure chest (blue key to blue door, etc.).

Ignore the sandy area in the lower right. It will be a tiled white marble floor. I used a sand texture under my grass texture and used a light eraser on the grass texture to spice it up a bit.

There will be more chests and plants as well as statues and fountains and stuff. It's a long way from done. Most everything I have texture-wise is from RPGMapShare.com.

As for the black walls, I'm not 100% sure what I want to do. Perhaps I'll figure out how to make them hedges.

Well, thanks for looking!
