I've created a few maps using Paint Shop Pro and another program (for the old school icons). Tell me what you guys think.
I have
another map on my blog/website

Both maps look very good, quite professional. Doors seem a bit variable, but that's nothing serious. In fact, come to think of it, there should be different-sized doors, but standard map icons make me assume they only come in one size....
Also, as a matter of personal preference, I use gray for rock/background as it is easier on the ink cartridge but again that isn't serious.

Looks Nice! But I'll echo bathwizard. Gray, or cross-hatching for the background would be preferable.

Ok, so a gray rock texture would be good?

Nice map. I agree that the different size doors does look a little odd.

Yeah, they were hand drawn vs. object. I'll work on that part.

ok, here's another one. I'm getting used to Paint Shop Pro. The area is pixelated on purpose
