maps in progress

I am looking for ideas on what to do about the garden area in the dwarf hold that surrounds the water.

1. I need to create a path that runs around the lake and connects the various areas around the hold
2. There should be a trail of slime leading from the lake into the temple area
3. I need to create an over grown orchard as well as dilapidated out buildings


Overall I am concerned with the style. I’m sure I could draw it all by hand but I do not think that would go to well with the overall look of the dwarf hold

Any ideas or thoughts?

I am working on a hand drawn map i scaned and am cleaning up in PSCS2

I like the fact that you included Bear Cave. I did my first caving (spelunking) in a cave known as Bear Cave.

Let me try this one again

This is a work in progress intended as a rest spot or a base camp for an extended underground campaign.

Here is my take on a Free city in the under dark

A dwarven strong hold set in/on a rich deposit of mithral surrounded by deep ravines

Many satellite communities are forming around the strong hold
A community of deep gnomes, mongrel men, and even some Pecks

Nice looking map Mathuwm. Your map is crisp and clearly defined. I look forward to the finished version.

For some odd reason, every time I try and look at your attachments, I keep getting a message that says they cannot be download because they contain errors. I'm not sure if the error is on my end or the server end.

they didn't come up for me either
