Designing digital maps

Heya! I am looking to learn how to design maps (indoor and outdoor maps) in the retro-futurist style of ALIEN. Anyone dabbling into this kind of thing? Are there good assets available that you know of? A technique you recommend? A program you prefer using to design futuristic maps? Is sitting hours on with Illustrator the only way?

PEACE.

These maps are beautiful! I also use publisher. I'd love to take a look at your publisher files to see how you do it. I've been importing layouts from Dungeon Painter to publisher.

Thanks for sharing!

It's copy and paste from original work free league alien RPG material PDF. Small or big parts. it's 2-3 hours work per map. I have now some layouts and I go faster now. Thanks.
