Heh :-). They do have a unique look to them indeed. I like that!

That's great. I think that variation is one of the requirements to make a good 
looking map.

BTW., once you are happy with your work (or even before), feel free to commit 
your source images (the ones with layers) to the gfx CVS. (See 
http://adonthell.berlios.de/doc/index.php/Graphics:Conventions#The_Adonthell_data_CVS).
 That way they will be preserved for the future. (I remember you once made 
animated water tiles and a cliff face in the v0.4 resolution, but they appear 
to be lost).

I intend to use this approach for more of my graphics. I already have  
scans of outlines for other plant-life like flowers, bushes and  
mushrooms. From relatively few drawings I can scale, rotate, flip and  
colour them to produce several objects. Those in turn can then be  
combined to create more complex things.

Hope you like them. As always any feedback would be much appreciated!
