    The Forgotten Realms maps are by Mike Schley (member name here is Schley) and that style is all hand-drawn and painted digitally. So if you want an easy way to reproduce that style, then you're out of luck - sorry. You'll just have to practice a lot like the rest of us (like Markustay) who have attempted but never succeeded in getting it just right.
    If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.
    -J. Robert Oppenheimer (father of the atom bomb) alluding to The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 11, Verse 32)

    Hmmm I could be wrong, but I am fairly certain that the particular map is from the 3.x version of FR and was done by Rob Lazzaretti instead of Mike Schley. Mike has done many of the 4th Edition D&D maps though.
