I've been using Real World Paint along with Gimp for a few years and I've been satisfied with it, making textures for a wide variety of engines. Recently I started using Inkscape for vector graphics (though RW Paint supports it and is easier to use).
I'm working on a main menu that'd be compatible with all non-BFG forks of idTech 4. I've already got it working, but it still is highly WIP. I'm writing it completely in Doom 3 guiscript focusing on functionality and minimizing required number of assets. I'll post a video once it's done or more functional.
Post your screenshots! WIP thread

I actually use a program named Fireworks, formerly by Macromedia but now Adobe, for making my textures. It's mostly for vectors and graphic design.
Also, working on a new map. Heavily inspired by D3DM4 "The Edge 2" from Doom 3, using stock assets. Can't decide between doing a full remake or just keeping the aesthetic, but I did completely mirror the central arena. Working title is "Danger Close".
Original D3DM4 for comparison:

Something I like to do is to change my monitor settings. My ASUS monitor has presets and that's pretty useful when something is too dark.
So, Victor's maps are just fine in terms of lighting for me.

@DiscoStu, I'm almost certain it's just the bright background of this site making it look darker than it really is. Looks fine ingame.

What do good boys have to do with that, lol?
Also, I think it's more like a "power beam" than a teleport. Let's see what Victor will say.

It's a teleporter. And yes, gl_nearest. That map will run in software though, except that teleporter murders FPS.

A little side project (I seem to have a never ending supply of those). A fan mission for The Dark Mod set in dock warehouses. I'm starting with a small, basic warehouse building.
That's a warehouse for short-term storage, objects placed there are meant to be moved shortly.

In comparement to the original Radiant this version is quite awesome. Really enjoyed creating stuff in this one.
Should thank Snehk for showing it to me, would never discover it otherwise.

Victor I absolutely love that artstyle & vibe you've gone for. Hope this is for a mod and not just death match maps!
Yeeeeaaahh don't see J.A.C.K being massively adopted by anyone. I tried using VHE to create .obj files and that turned out so awfully that I resorted to properly learn blender

@Instant Mix
It is just a deathmatch map, but I have an idea kicking around in my head for a mod based on it.
This map, DM_Crystalline, and DM_Borehole all share the same lore, centered around "Ganymedite", a fictional mineral integral to room temperature superconductors -- but in its raw form is highly toxic and attacks the central nervous system, causing hallucinations, paranoid delusions, and violence (used to explain the violent deathmatch stuff).
The idea I had was you play as a miner and experience his slow descent into madness, with the early maps starting out normal but slowly growing more and more messed up, likely culminating in you going on a hallucination fueled rampage and getting cut down...

Just updated a HLDM map that was 10 or more years old.
Single room, vertical gameplay. Very hard to balance detail level and not drop FPS.

Recreating a location but don't have textures for the signs on the front? Just use vanilla Half-Life signs!
Man... I really need to break out of my habit of sticking to stock HL textures. It's just not going to work for this one...

Bravo Victor That was a wonderfully scripted knock-over. I couldn't see from the video but perhaps some sprites or sparks at the landing area could accent the fall.
I also love the shutters.

It's good to see that you're still working on Sandpit! I had a blast toying with it back when I was learning about modding and Half-Life mapping. It brings back some memories - that was 11 years ago!

Oh thanks!
There have certainly been some quiet patches but it will be 10 years in December - hopefully v4.0 will be ready to go by then.
I've been basing it off https://github.com/tschumann/basis to try and open-source bits and pieces of it.
