A couple of dungeon levels

Here are a couple of dungeon levels I did some time ago.

The originals are much bigger and at a higher resolution. I am particularly fond of these, as I put in a considerable amount of thought and care into them.

These look good, I would like to see the higher rez ones sometime. We should get together and work on some maps... like a shared file where we each take turns with a file for a week or something.


I use a pen tool to create a shape (the space that is not corridor) for mine and then use a drop shadow that way the actual space where corridors are is transparent allowing me to drop a grid, hex or whatever on the lower layer.

That sounds like and interesting idea, working on something together.

I simply make the upper layer (non room/corridor areas) very transparent and I have a hand-drawn floor plan on graph paper I scanned in underneath. Then I make selections to the upper layer and delete to create the corridors and rooms. I then dial up the transparency, use drop shadow for depth and a textured stroke to give the appearance of walls.
