I believe they were created using MapMatic which can be found under Tools on the main site.
The problem with doing something really stupid to impress people is that they may just be impressed by how stupid you really are.

Yeah I like black and white maps, that's why I didn't use any of the colored tiles that come with the program.

I'm going to want full color for what I had in mind, I just didn't really like how the map tool handled it. I've seen very few free ones that did anything to my level of preference.

Its good for basic work. That's about all I need it for anyway. Its good to put ones own artistic touches on things anyway right? ;)

Seeing as I am an artist, that's most important.
