I thought I had already posted this. Hmmmmmmm.....
Okay, this was supposed to be an entry for the CG Aug/Sept Lite Mapper's Challenge, but I didn't get it finished in time, and I didn't get my internet in time to enter. This is something new for me... a modern map! This is intended for use in an upcoming Werewolf Apocolypse game I will be running (if my players can ever get together for it, that is!) This is another one of those games a friend asked me to run.
DunnHaven, CT is a quaint little seaside hamlet/village - population, 683 people. It has a grocery, a small general store, a library, and a bar/tavern... and that's about it... except for a secret that has been lost to the generations.
That long lost secret is what will bring the players to this otherwise, unassuming village. The secret? A long dormant, but powerful cairn waiting to be rediscovered, and reactivated. The problem? The Pentex Corporation (otherwise known as the Wurm) is trying to purchase the land for an industrial factory, which would, of course, destroy the cairn.
For those of you who don't know... werewolves are the defenders of Gaia, the defenders of Nature, and these cairns are sacred places where the Earth's power is strongest. Cairns are Holy Ground to werewolves, they are a place of safety, of sanctuary, where werewolves can hide from the world.
Anyway, this is what I have done so far...

Keep up the good work, im sure you'll figure out something perfect
The only thing that could be criticized is that it looks almost too perfect, too bright and clean.
How about adding another sheet, that covers the entire map and add a texture like for example Land_MS, then adjust Hue/Saturation, to a color that fits the atmosphere you want in this map and make it transparent (oppacity about 5-10%)?

Map looks nice, especially the waves and foam on the sea. Maybe consider a little oil or traffic (i.e. tire tracks) on the roads? A small puddle or two on a driveway? Either way, I'll skip it due to, you know, werewolves.
Hadrian, I like the idea of darkening it up, and maybe texture to make it less clean.
Dogtag, I've been thinking about that about the roads, but I'm not really sure how to go about making tire tracks, or ruts in the road.... let me think about that...
Quenten, this is a fishing village, in CT, so no surfers, I'm afraid
