Since its 20,000 I suggest "Captain Nemo" as his title. Beyond the obvious connection, he is one who sails on his own terms and ignores those he doesn't agree with...confident in his journey and goals.

I watched a lot of those tutorials. Good stuff. I would also search the Cartographer's guild website of tuts. They have a ton of info and tips on that site.
I do most of mapping in Maptool just because it is my gaming enviroment and I am able to edit the map on the fly mid game without having to load a map. The result will not look as nice as maps done in photoshop or gimp with lighting effects and shading, but it gets the job done. See these photos of maps I have done in MT:

I would use photoshop or gimp to make makes for hand outs or if I was creating my own world. A lot of the techniques shown in photoshop tuts I have stolen, adapted, or applied to Maptool when I create battlemaps.
