Some really good entries. I would have voted for Alucard, but as this is an entry about drawing the maps, I felt it would be unfair on the others as many of Alu's images (although not the maps themselves) were taken from other sources and not drawn by him, although he had put them together beautifully.

i didn't realize this contest would end this soon, but oh well. i'll just have to rely on what is there already and let the folks decide.
i also am impressed with the work alucard has done, but am inclined to call shenanigans for taking some of his maps off of another site and not using his own. i'm not trying to be a spoil sport here. what he has done is great, it's just that these contests are about what YOU can do, not about what OTHERS have done. just my 2 cents.
Yeah, alu & I talked about this, and he cited his sources and such afterwards, which was great. It was just a slight misunderstanding in the purpose of the contests, I think, but he's square now. Alu's a good guy. (And he did do a nice job on his collage-work, didn't he?)
Great entries everyone! Another successful & inspiring month!

Hi to you all,
As I've said to Don, I'm sorry about using many outside work, but I didn't though it would have add any effect since it was for the presentation of the story.
The inn was done as per the contest rules.
But yes it was a misunderstanding that won't happen again.
Now as for my vote, it was quite hard because this month entries were much diversified, but in the end I chose to vote for Neon's map for 2 reasons:
1) The simplicity of is map made the job that the challenge asked, and 2)
Because he took my idea for the style I was going to use for my buildings in my story.
Tmonkey, I think I will have a use for ur map in my next month scenario on my world if you don't mind me using it.
Nice work to U all & hope to see U next month,
Alu.
Let my fangs find your neck, during the night, so that I can drink your knowledge ...
So it could be use here : www.l-hazard.com
sure, you can use my stuff. that's fine.didn't want you to think i was being a spoilsport about this month's contest. the work you did was great, and shows the work of an impressive cartographer. keep it up!
Terrainmonkey got extra browny points from me because he posted maps without writing on them, otherwise I really liked the Tower because its the sort of adventure I really like. I don't have a player called Nigel!
The skull could be pulled together into an amazing map too! Dont give up on it.
