    So, here's my first contribution in the way of individual map elements. Have a chicken.

    Well, I've done a little more, though it's still early in the learning process.

    A couple of details for modern streets.

    For my Sept./Oct. challenge map, I got this semi-submerged gator pic off of https://www.pexels.com and removed the surrounding water in GIMP, then hit it with the Oilify filter. It might be of use to someone else, so here it is.

    Still planning to get a final touch on the swamp, I've made a lily pad. I took a photo for reference, but I need a base pad with no real-world wear and tear to copy for groups and take individual chunks out of them to make the cloning a bit less obvious.

    Then I also went ahead and did a water lily flower, though I don't think I'll actually put it into my Swamp Idol map. Doesn't really seem sinister enough. This one is pretty much just the original photo (from Pexels again) cut down to just the flower.

    I only managed to put together one bunch of lily pads in time to use on my competition battlemap, but making a number of variants is on my endless list of things to do.

    Very Nice.

    I popped a couple of colors for your lily, I hope you don't mind. Maybe a little more sinister looking.

    I kind of like the glowing white edge, although I could also remove it, and add drop shadow if you wanted.

    Nice work, my wife loves water lilies. She takes lots of picture of them when we go kayaking.
