Those are some amazing maps Sue! Indeed not all in my prefered style, but the combination with other elements such as lore, drawings, 3D elements, etc. is beautiful to see. I especially like the hanging gardens.

Perhaps there’s no fixed process you used, but may I ask how your workflow is when combining the different software packages? Like using Gimp/Krita to create custom symbols & distinctive elements like trees, and CC3 for the landscaping, roads and rivers etc.? A hybrid combination of handdrawing my ‘library’ in the raster and vector tools and using CC3+ for the placement and landscaping (perhaps with colour touch-ups in the other software) could be interesting. I’m not experienced enough yet to know if it’s going to be easier for me to do the creation of the lands etc. in the raster/vector tools or in CAD tools. Only one way to find out I guess.
