Hey man 
Thanks for the kudos. Yeh I pretty much exclusively used Photoshop for the SW maps pulling a lot of images from www.rpgmapshare.com and www.dundjinni.com using their free items (as well as making a few of my own from time to time) and then putting them altogether into a map. There's no quick way to do them, for me the biggest thing is getting your shadows and light right to make items look like they're actually sitting on the page. There's a variety of different techniques used and I've been using the software for 15 years through Photoshops various versions
If you want to get better than start by making a basic map and follow some of the tutorials on those websites forums, lots of people can give step by step walkthroughs. If there's any aspect in particular from my map you want to know how I did it, then feel free to ask

I was really curious to know if you bothered to learn like the whole process for mapmaking on a certain program cause I tried a few and I was like, GAH this is going to take too long to learn but if YoSpeck did it to make those awesome maps than I can learn too! HOwever, if you used photoshop (brilliant Idea to use the images from other programs and drag 'em into photoshop!) Then I think I have a shot at making some nice maps since I LOVE photoshop!
