Thanks for all the compliments and feedback/corrections.
I use Photoshop cs6 and Campaign Cartographer 3. Photoshop for the land, water, borders, and labels, and CC 3 for the buildings, trees, and mountains. A lot of it is messing around with different techniques to get new looks and improve upon with. Here's an album of other completed maps I've done and how my style changed with each one as I tried new things. And for each one of those, there's a half dozen incomplete ones that I discarded because I didn't like what I was trying in them.
