These are very nicely done. I like the whimsical quality to them.
I do have to say that I much prefer the ones without any grids on them, they tend to be much easier to use in FG and the grids are somewhat distracting... but overall these are really nice!

Wonderful! Grids are nice add-on but when maps are used in FG the become obsolete since you can define your own grid in-app. I also prefer maps without grid, but any of your creations are still top-notch no matter you use grid or not

thanks again. i use grids in my personal maps when i run my games, but i only add them to show difficult terrain. different colors for different movement speeds. i then offset the FG grid by one pixel so i can still see my colors. this way both me and my players have a clear understanding of the terrain. however these maps are for the community so i don't add them to any new maps i post.

[damned]

sukEET - what do you use to add Grids in Gimp?

[sukEEt]

sukEET - what do you use to add Grids in Gimp?

render --> pattern --> grid --> then i adjust the settings (size, offsetting always 0, and color)

you can select an area with any of the selection tools, then go through the above steps to create a grid on only what you select. as long as your offset option is the same, all the separate grids rhat you make will line up.

i also use a new layer for grids so i can move and remove them easily.

hope that is not confusing ...

You might try adding a blue/gray or green/gray or even red/gray tone to one of the layers in these cave maps.. it'll give you a bit more pizazz than the gray on gray.

i usually add a bit more to my maps but for these i was going for speed. i did the last two in about 10-15 minutes each. green is usually my go to

[damned]

and it goes both ways - if you are playing an old school ruleset sometimes the monotone maps suit the game better.

I just assumed by the way these looks that you did them by compiling multiple layers (3 in this case)... I thought it might be very cool if one of the layers had a different tint to it.
One of the things I've really liked about your maps is the use of simple color.
It is simple enough to tint these images as a whole.. but obviously doing the individual layers after the fact is a bit more complicated.
Here's an overall 'tint' version.

i set my soft brush to 50% opacity then manually shaded everything using a gausian blur every once in a while to smooth it out then doubled the layers bit by bit to tweak the contour. its not as hard as it sounds. it is actually pretty quick too.

thanks i will try that. bare trees are tough too ... any ideas?

[Blackfoot]

If you went with conifers instead of deciduous .. maybe .. make points with half shaded circles?.. then they could still feel like trees instead of branches..

[Blackfoot]

The biggest issue I'm seeing is the transition between the tiers of the slope...the contrast is extreme making it feel awkward.

So . . I have had a copy of Campaign Cartographer for years but never really messed with it until a few months ago since I need maps for my 5E campaign. It's been nothing but a headache trying to get it to do what I want and I honestly don't have another few months to get over the learning curve. After stumbling onto this thread I figured I would give GIMP a try since CC was going nowhere for me. In less than 30 minutes (including downloading some extras) I had the prototype of a small old school map up and running in FG and even to the correct # of pixels to make the grid line up.

Now I'm off to find some more tutorials and other goodies to download. :)

my only issue with procreate (which i like more than GIMP now) is the fact that it doesn't have the selectors, straight lines, or shapes that GIMP has ... a few other APPS have tried to emulate these things, but then don't have the quality of brushes that procreate has ... that being said ...

[Gruber]

Hey, not bad. It is also pretty useful, but I personally liked a former map style (cartoony wilderness) more than this one. Maybe if more maps are made in the same style, one would get used to it and it would fit a campaign.

Additionally, it would be great to have a set of maps one could use for an adventure, including area map, settlement, specific locations in the settlement and interiors which correspond to each other. There are some maps like that online and I find them quite useful.

Also, I'm trying to get together my first campaign as a DM and it is based on riverbanks, so this map would is ideal for me and it would really be a lot of help, if I could use it, or you could make more like this :)

Keep up the good work.
