    I decided that blueprints to the Chief's Stronghold & Vault would be more fun than the traditional dungeon-style map:

    Also did a close-up of the markets. (I did not draw the scenes inside the Temple of Koho. I drew the temple cut-away, giant statue, and flames surrounding the statue but I lifted the scenes from a Google image search. I manipulated them quite a bit in Photoshop but it's not my art. I will probably draw my own scenes at some point but ran up against a gaming deadline.)

    You could've also saved each "object" as a brush which would probably help manage your layer stack.

    This is really nice, your cut-away is really good too.

    On your last post, you show squares as being 5ft but there's no grid, is that intentional?

    Nice work on this. The cut-away looks great and the subtle color themes help distinguish the various levels. The old blue map looks nice as well.

    Cheers,

    Thanks! Yes, I did save objects as brushes but for some reason the brush turned out to be very light. I'm not sure why that is, because I've turned other objects into brushes with no problem.

    The lack of grid is unintentional. It was showing up fine and then suddenly was not, and I haven't had time to troubleshoot it (well, I didn't have time back when I posted, and then I forgot).

    I finally had time to address the grid issue and fix some little things that were nagging at me. I think it's now final!

    Thank you, Arkidemis! I really appreciate the feedback from everyone on this thread - it helped me put some finishing touches on the map that would not have happened otherwise. You all helped make this a much better final (errr...final enough) version.
