It's been awhile since I've had a chance to do some mapping, and I thought I'd play around with mapping a region. I started with RobA's gimp tutorials for regions and trees and then played around with it a bit. I also used Profantasy fractal terrains and wilbur.

I'm sure I have a lot to learn about all of those programs - so any help and advise would be appreciated!

And the attachment upload seems to hang up for some reason, so I'll just link to dA
