This small settlement in the woods doesn't look as inviting as you had hoped, and you don't see tracks from recent activity despite the lights still being on. Worry creeps in that something awful has happened here recently.
They're made with Midjourney. I start by brainstorming concepts for maps. The prompt process takes a while, and depending on what I'm trying to accomplish can take many iterations to get a good base result. Once I like the general style, perspectively, and layout of a result, I'll use the "vary region" feature to clean up mistakes, and/or add features to the map. Then I do some cleanup in gimp to fix more mistakes, and upscale resolution using Topaz Photo AI.
