That's pretty good! I like the grittiness you've put in this map. The lighting really sets the mood.
Here's a map I've more or less completed.
Probably will add some more stuff to the westernmost chamber, to fill it up, but the most of it is done. It's an underground level of an old fortress that some goblin tribe had taken up residence in, getting corrupted in the process by Regan who is supposedly imprisoned inside. Critique and suggestions are welcome.

Very,very nice. The only thing is that the repetitive motif of the background is visible. It isn't a problem but the rest of your map is of good enough quality for this to be a critique Keep on with the good work!

Thank you for the kind words and the critique guys. I'm still unsure how to make the background not so repetitive, but I'll get there eventually.

While I haven't learned how to ensure there isn't a repeating motif when I fill in the background, I've used some overlays I've picked up off Dundjinni's forums a while back to mask it. It's not the most ideal solution, but it works. Ended up leaving the westernmost chamber empty. It is a simple shrine, hidden away from curious wanderers, so it's better to be as it was thousand years ago, when people still visited there to pray, before the complex was transformed into a prison and the shrine walled off.

I really like it! Love the style!
Would you mind to share the source of the textures and elements as well as any tutorials you may have used?

Glad to hear it.
Floor textures and elements are mostly from one of the bigger packs off Dundjinni archive. Bronze looking statues are all Neyjour's, while the braziers are from torstan's free stuff. I've not followed any tutorial for this one, but I've used some of the stuff I've picked up from here http://www.fantasticmaps.com/category/tips-and-tricks/ A lot of good tutorials there, give it a read if you have the time.
Design is really well done, but perhaps the areas in dark are maybe a little too dark.
But ti does setup the mood really nicely.
