how can people make awsome pictures with the square terrain? That must really take a long time to do.

Sometimes they use BMP2SCM or Starcraft Picture? Which will convert a picture into square tilesets for them. Other times, yes it takes them ages.

Float_a_Drone_1.12bPUB.scm ( 26.89k ) Number of downloads: 3Hand drawn goodness!
Woot!!!
All you do is find the colors you want (tiles) then you remember what does what and what is what, then you can draw. or be a lazy noobish ass and use BMP2SCM or SCPM2.0 (SC Picture Mapper).

People use editors like Starforge and SCMDraft. It takes me forever just to make a perfect double bridge (2x as long as a regular bridge).

Heres what introduced the community to this kind of stuff: http://www.staredit.net/index.php?download=1245
Some people though I shouldn't of made that just keep the difference between newbie and expert map makers seperate, because I revealed the secerts to making the nice terrain in a handy video tutorial.
I think it benifited everyone. Just look at the awesome terrain being done now. A new standard of map making has been made.

Awesome pictures as in minimap or as in ramps or odd looking terrain? If your talking about minimap, youve gotta have skills. I don't have skills in minimap design, unless I use BMP2SCM.
When some people make minimap designs, it amazes me. *Cough* R2B *Cough*

Although I think the BMP2SCM and other tools like it are pretty nifty programs, I think that they take the fun out of minimap drawings.
When I was actively creating bounds (stereotypical maps w/ minimap designs), I used to love creating a picture tile-by-tile and having a cool effect that is visible on the minimap.
It always amazed people as well and got the map some good, quick publicity.
