*** February 2019 Challenge: Commission a Guilder ***

[Diamond]

This month's challenge will be a special one - you get to team up with another Guild member, and you'll challenge each other to commission a map of your own choosing. What you come up with as your commission is entirely up to you. You might challenge your partner to map the tomb complex of the Mummy King Akon-Ra, or a cross-section of an Elven tree city, or a tropical archipelago, or the territory of a galactic empire. You will have SIX WEEKS to partner up, think up commissions, and complete them. That's right, a month and a half. That's due to a number of things - the nature of the challenge itself, February being a short month, and the fact that I'm also trying to pay attention to the Atlas Award nominations threads. (Also, I'm starting a new job on Feb 19th, so I'll likely be distracted at the end of the month. ) So the challenge will run until the evening of Sunday, 17 March. There will be no March Challenge, instead there will be a recuperation period of a couple weeks, and then we'll return to our regular Challenges in April.

Each Challenge entry this month is its own entry. If you finish your map/commission but your partner doesn't finish theirs, that's okay - your map is still eligible for voting and winning that shiny Golden Compass. So to sum up: get in touch with someone you want to partner with, decide what each of you wants to challenge the other with, and go forth and map. The challenge will end around 9PM Pacific time on the evening of Sunday, 17 March. If you have any questions, post 'em here.

And please do not forget to label your threads like this: February 2019 Challenge: << your title would go here >>

Also, make sure you use the ### Latest WIP ### tag in front of each work-in-progress picture you post so the thumbnail scraper will pick up the image for display in the Current Challenge gallery.
