There are lots of paving textures available in the free art collections, though because I spend most of my time making new stuff rather than mapping and using existing stuff, I can't remember which sets have more than others.

Hello Ede :)

Looks like a good start.

I think you might be right about the age rings. I might also try to make the wood and the rings a more woody colour, possibly using the new Colorize sheet effect.

Wow!

That's beautiful, Ricko :)

Thank you for sharing.

That's a pretty good first map :)

The next stage is to start playing with the sheet effects like the shadows to see what different results you can get. For example, those smaller shadows are a lot sharper than the taller ones on the trees. Maybe they could do with a little more blur on them?

@akbdeck @JulianDracos Thanks - that's really helpful. I hadn't thought of doing two versions with and without canvas, but I can see that it would be good to arrange everything so that the overall canvas texture can simply be switched off - an overlay set over the entire map and blended onto it, rather than built into the symbols and fills. I think I agree about that Desert light texture being a bit too pale ;)

@taustinoc Thank you! :)
