I have already been making lots. I wish I'd seen your tutorial before I spent a month or two learning! But I did learn how to do some fun stuff in Photoshop. I am hoping you still intend to get some tutorials up on varying your tiles a bit as mentioned in the original. Is that a lost cause now, or should I hold out hope?

I'm glad you found the tutorial useful :) it so happens that another one is going up this weekend focusing on creating furnture for your tiles. I'll see if I can put up something on the other topics you mentioned in the next little while. Hi! I’m glad you found the tutorial useful :)

I just ran across this article via Google, but I will likely become a regular reader. I am curious; did the articles mentioned above regarding other types of tile ever get made? What I really need are wilderness, town, and city tiles, and I'm not that proficient with Photoshop (though the above wasn't too hard to follow, despite the fact that I have a PC).

There are 2 types of clouds, the "Solid Noise" one works best (tick the randomize button or make sure you generate a new seed each time), and then to get the colours right you need to go to Colors->Map->Gradient Map. Then, instead of Pillow Emboss (which, even with a script for it, seems not to work), try using Bevel: produces a decent result. Finally, as far as I can tell, the only way of getting GIMP to use a pattern is by saving the pattern to the patterns directory. For GIMP 2, this is \GIMP-2.0\share\gimp\2.0\patterns, and it's the same for other versions, just with a different version number.
