Hello, this is my first post and I've been using Gimp over the years for small tasks such as creating alphas for images and exporting.
I've recently got back into tabletop gaming with games such as Castle Ravenloft, Frostgrave and Horizon Wars. I've started on a project to essentially recreate two MB games from the early 1990s called Hero Quest and Space Crusade, and have been using MS Paint and Gimp to knock up simple grid print outs of game boards to match the sizes of miniature bases. Sadly my 2D artskills are lacking(compared to my 3D skills and miniature painting), and although the boards I have made so far are good enough for gaming, I would really like to take it further and produce better looking board art. I could just print the originals, but I actually enjoy doing it from scratch.
Would anyone know of any videos or books on this subject?
