Honest oppinions:

Red Planet: Although I personally LOVE the cliffs everywhere ( I play terran) I know I would never play that map if I was zerg, needs more open space for surrounds

Overgrown: This one I like better, it has some interesting possiblities for expands, Cant see any distinct race advantages, Maybe a few siege tank problems on the top two expands. Have to say im not a big fan of the perfectly straight shot into the opponenets base, even stepps of war has some curves in it, I'd like to see one more set of blue expo's that are more dangerous to take, and two watch towers in strategice points.

Thanks you for all the feedback. It really does help alot! And I do play the beta as protoss, and I know what siege tanks are possible of, so I try to keep the race balance in the map as much as possible. =]

Haven't played either, however i would never play the first map due to the fact its not visually appealing. Overgrown looks nice though and i would actually want to play on it. I'm not sure if it's just me that cares about how the map looks though...

Yes, Red Planet was basically an experiment map, because it was the very first map I've ever done in the Sc2 Editor. So I don't blame you for that. haha. And Oh yeah, it looks very much like that. I never played Wc3 ever, nor seen that map, but I do see the resemblance. haha

Just wondering, the 3rd map is a 1v1, but why does it have so much minerals in the middle? I'd say it would be better to have less mineral patches at gold so that whoever controls middle doesn't just go way ahead of his opponent.
Also 3rd and 4th expansions are way too easy to defend.
Watch the minimap.

Is it just me or does overgrown look like an animal splattered on a window pane?

Overgrown looks good, i espacially like the bottom path for some sneaky runbys. Some Xel'Naga watchtowers would be nice, but not to place them so they have vision over the bottom path.
How is the distance from the middle highground to the natural? Can i tank fire at the expansion? If so, i feel this can be a problem.

Red Planet i didn't like that much. Then i am a zerg player, but it also feels kind of flat and not that fun. It's a vulcano area, shouldn't it be more of a "cliffy" landscape? What i didn't like was probably that there was no "safe places" like wall or something, so everything is very open. And still, it isn't open enough. Can't really explain it, sorry...

About the last map, Dusty, i think it will become good, but just not yet. I don't see any good expansion patterns. Sure, you can hide expansions anywhere, and it got possibility for some long games, but it got a long way to go. Was thinking about it like a 6player map? Possibly?

Overgrown looks good still, and try it out a lot and make sure it's an even match. Then it got potential!

Thanks for all the feedback! And on Dusty, that back door has rocks on it, idk if you could see those or not. And as for Overgrown, I'll be checking out that tank cliffing spot to make sure you can't. Also, I will move the Xel'Naga Tower in the middle of the path to both the bases on the Highground there. Maybe that'll be a better spot for it. And Red Planet I may just remake/redesign. Thanks again for all the comments/suggestions. It helps lots. =]

Well thanks. haha It really does help alot. And I changed were the watch tower is, its now on the center cliff towards the edge where the gold expansion is. I also added a few more eye candies, and from the gold expansion, tanks can only hit the one gas, I would like to know if you want that to be possible or not. Should the tanks be able to hit the one gas or not? Thanks.
