Study of battlemaps
First battlemap I ever made with GIMP. Could be worked on further, I think, but is also usable as is. Used some textures I found off internet, some items I picked off dundjinni forums and Neyjour's crypt entrance/fancy sarcophagus. Criticism is welcome! I've still a lot to learn. Burning question, how would you go making the border between this old road I was going for and the grass around it less apparent?
Just noticed, my stairs are kind of wonky. Tried using darker lines to make them stair like, but I guess that part needs more work too.

Very nice! It has a dark, spooky feeling around it.
I don't know how you went about applying the textures, but I would say put low opacity grass texture (enough to make sure that there isn't much of a solid contrast between the grass and the path) around the edge of the path, if you get what I mean.
Overall a very nice battle map, I will give you some rep.
Great atmosphere SrgDark! Agree with Josiah that you should look again at the junction of grass and path, but otherwise wonderfully spooky.
Thanks fellas, for the advice and comments. I'll be sure to strive an' improve with the next one.
This here is barebones version of a dungeon I'm making right now. These tiles are from one of Dundjinni's megasets I think. Though, I did not convert every imagine in the set, which is kind of noticeable in how patterns on plain tiles repeat. Perhaps I'll bother with doing it all.
Anyhow, here's the wip. Like always, comment away if you have something to note or suggest.

Here's an update of the previously posted barebones I put down. Unsure what to do with the eastern room. Perhaps make it into a bossfight area. Need to put down doors and some other stuff too, but it's pretty much done at this point. Thoughts? Criticism? I welcome it all.
Was a good suggestion there, it does look nice with the darker wall texture. It's done now. Added three doors that start off closed, some magical sigils in the eastern room. A couple of skeletons belonging to some unfortunates that ventured here before.
Something I'm working on right now. Regan is supposedly trapped in these halls, but erstwhile heroes will find that his prison holds more than just goblins that have taken to worshipping him as a god.
Thanks! It's been quite a learning experience, making map of this size without messing up the scale.
