    Default March 2021 Challenge: Operation Winter Solstice - The Invasion of Capella

    I really have to take part more regularly in this community.

    A partial map taken from orbit during the initial stages of an invasion by hostile forces. Landing zones have been designated, nukes have been launched.

    Not sure if I can actually finish this within the deadline, but it's the thought that counts.

    Getting closer to the final design. Need to draw a couple more dropships, though.

    Probably going to add a mother ship in the upper right corner at the end.

    This reminds me of a screen in a computer game where you would click the theater you want to go to for your next mission! It's a great use of the nightside of the planet, too.

    Alright, after expanding the canvas twice I think this is as good as it gets now. Anything else and it might get too cluttered with text and elements.

    You're right, with the ship animations looping periodically while you select your invasion area.

    Looks great!

    Thank you very much!

    Did some small last minute adjustments.

    You've done an excellent job with this Wired. Each of the three map views of this piece clearly reveal that an invasion is underway, and each fits seamlessly into the overall composition of the map. Well done.

    Cheers,
