MAPPING TECHNIQUES (YES I READ THE OTHER FORUM FROM START TO FINISH)

CloseOk, recently my game was denied (No problem, I pretty much saw it coming the instant I starting looking at other games on the site) however, my most surprising factor was the reason, it wasn't the battle design like I figured, however it was the mapping (which I kinda suppose it was coming now that I look back on it). I read the other forum on this page further down, about map design. However that I don't think is truly the root of my problem. I believe the root of my problem is my TECHNIQUE, I know what makes a good map, I know what makes an environment interesting, my biggest problem is the ability to bring what I see in my head to life. Now I'm not sure if it's just that the basic RTP with RPG Maker VX is to limiting, or if it is my own skill. I watched the RPG Maker VX tutorials, looked up and down Game Design & Theory forums, checked the Help & Support forums, nothing seems to be able to help me out in this situation. I desperately want to be able to make a quality game, however I need some assistance here.
Any advice/techniques/any other resource, of help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

I desperately want to be able to make a quality gamethen do it and stop worrying about gorgeous maps
admittedly the RTP is amazingly single-minded to old-schooly DW-style maps without any extra fluff whatsoever.

Haha, I'd love to Chaos, I'm not trying to seem like I'm complaining, I'm really just looking for some advice here.
Truthfully, my maps SUCK, even now I'm watching tutorials on Youtube right now seeing if I can find something I "click" with.
show us your maps! we generally know our onions and we can be the judge

Aight, I'm still new to this site relatively, do I just import images to my locker and then you guys can view them?

It's all about practice.
The concept here is the same as creating other art. Many more people can envision an artwork in their head than can actually bring it to life. It is practicing and learning techniques that give your hands the capabilities of translating from mind to paper, or wherever else.

I second this. When I first stated using RM, my maps sucked! After a year or so of practice, my maps are actually decent... :P
So, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!

Fixed to apply to me.
But in this case even still some people don't agree with this.
Anyway, how bad could your maps possibly be if you actually got denied because of them? You've got to show us them so we can help you work on them.
Aight thanks, I'm practicing as I post here.
P.S. I really appreciate the speedy response of the community, I didn't expect to see a response tonight much less an entire conversation begin.

Again Max, I don't know how to show you guys, link in the forum or in my locker? (forgive me I'm always slow on the uptake but when my minds set upon something it doesn't take long for me to do it.)

Sticking it in your locker and posting it here should do fine.
