In 2009 I made this very simple, basic map and posted it here:

I have never been happy with how it turned out and have tinkered and played with it for years. Always trying something new and nothing has seemed to meet even this basic map's quality. Until recently...

Around Christmas this last year, my wife got me Photoshop CC 2014 and a Wacom tablet. I have practiced with both and have even found a few Photoshop styles and patterns (thank you DrZeuss) that remind me of the 4e/5e DnD map style. So, I have vowed to get this map redone in that style.

Here's Step 1 - Redrew the map to a new scale (1 box = 5'), using layers and patterns (4 layers in this step: base color, floor pattern, grid, and wall pattern), and at a lower dpi (72px/inch vs 150px/inch in the original)
