The Western Lands

[Loudwolf]

Thanks for the feedback. Agreed that the lava is probably a tad bit too red. I might drop the lava entirely as it's somewhat redundant info (the smoking mountain top sorta gives it away that it's a volcano)

This is literally the first time I've tried to transfer any of my pen-and-paper maps to a digital format. The original 24" x 36" hand drawn map was an evolving work-in-progress for the 10 years that we played. You should see it now...It's been folded and refolded so any times I think it's held together by maybe 3 of 4 molecules at this point. I chose CC3+ mostly as a trial tool to see what I could do. With all the symbols, color schemes and sheet effects built-in, it makes for a quick map (I spent about 3 weeks putting this together). I have a lot of experience with AutoCAD, so it wasn't much of a learning curve to jump in as the programs are roughly similar.

Now that I've stepped through the looking glass, I can see though that I will have to look into getting more adept with Photoshop or Gimp (or other) to have more control and create my own stuff. I use both PS and Gimp with one of my other hobbies (photography), but only in a limited fashion compared to the vast potential present in both.
