Hiya, Handsome!Your new map's a huge improvement over the original, so well done on that. Look forward to seeing your other work.
My Progression (Old VS New Map)
Hi all!
Due to an overwhelming number of requests* to see how much my skills have grown since I created my first map, I figured that it would be appropriate for me to contribute something for the good of the community**. The map on the left is the aforementioned "first ever map", and the map on the right is my remake of it using my improved cartography skills. For your convenience***, I have obnoxiously emblazoned my username over the maps as a watermark so at no stage will you be able to forget who was responsible for their creation.

*I have (at time of posting) received zero requests.
**My post does not actually help the community.
***This is probably not for your convenience.
Hiya, Handsome!

Thankyou! I'll post more when I have the chance.
The new map looks GREAT! I have struggled horribly with city maps. I really enjoy regional and dungeon mapping and have been slowly, but steadily improving (coming from someone who is NOT very computer savvy, most certainly NOT an artist of any kind - just a GM who is creative) but I still seem to have a really hard time with the cities. I shamelessly "borrow" others when able. Great work!
I love the progression you've made. That city looks great!
Yeah you did make a lot of progress alright! Well done. I hope to see more of your work, minus the obnoxious watermarks
Cheers,

Thanks guys! Everything I've learned in terms of photoshop techniques and style, I learned from torstan's (amazing) tutorials, or by haphazardly trying to imitate Mike Schley's style. Lorelei, If city maps in particular are giving you grief, I strongly recommend you check this out:

It is a very different approach to mapping, but it's extremely useful - ESPECIALLY for DMs.
