J.Edward's map has a clean, beautiful, professional look that really takes my breath away. I'm always envious of his stuff.

Ilanthar's city is very cool and sharp. It actually looks a little like an unfinished cliff-city I'd been working on at home, and is inspiring me to pick that project back up.

I like the look and feel of Abu Lafia's spaceport, and appreciate the work that went into achieving it.

Arsheesh's amazing, photo-realistic top-down style is always a jaw-dropper, and makes me want to develop a style like that for my own portfolio.

I never know how Bogie packs so much detail into maps like the Defiled Temple. My Dungeon Master brain gets rolling with story ideas just glancing at it.

I applaud Chick for taking on the challenge of history, and showing us a glimpse of the ancient world.

Diamond's map almost looks like something right out of National Geographic, and that's high praise as far as I'm concerned.

I love the line-heavy illustrated style of Larb's tower. If Dungeon Magazine had used maps of this quality on a regular basis, I'd never have been able to part with my collection (during my misguided attempt to get away from DnD.)

Romeinoneday's airship revs up my Spelljammer lust and makes me want to throw my PCs into space.

Snodsy's Gnopf is an interesting combo map. I especially like the submerged castle. You could run a whole adventure from this.

Meshon's Genial Descent is cute, fun, and well executed.

Naturally, I'm sad for my challenge partner Chashio, who was unable to finish the map we had discussed, but I totally understand the demands that modern life places on the time we all have to get things like this done.

As usual, I'm spreading my votes around (without voting for myself, of course).

I should mention that it looks as though only the low-resolution GIF of my project got linked to in the thumbnails page. You can't see much from that, other than the fact that the shape of the islands overlap. Hopefully, people have clicked through to the main thread where the high-resolution version of both maps can be seen. If not, here is the link: http://www.cartographersguild.com/sh...t=32383&page=5
