    Thanks Bogie and Ladiestorm, the details are always the funnest things to add, May add a few more pieces of scattered armor from previous battles, and I have given the beast a bloody sword. Even our most violent offenders have a soft spot for mom.

    Jeez Snodsy, this is fantastic! And I heartily agree, the devil(ish humour) is in the details. Bloody good.

    cheers,
    Meshon

    Think I'm about done, except for playing with the type color/glow. Added a few more details, scattered armor, changed MOM tattoo to his human mother and I wouldn't go swimming in the Pool of Tears, comments welcome.

    It's looking fantastic! I love everything about this map from the concept to the execution. Great job!

    One tiny thing I noticed was the word 'Towers View' in the labyrinth plan at the top left. The first and last letters overlap the walls. Maybe shrink the text a little to make it clearer?

    Nice work Snodsy! The "point of view" of your maps is always original, and this is no exception! great job with the perspective

    Thanks guys for the comments, this one worked well as a one point perspective, here the top plan view fixed.

    The illustrations on this piece are great, they do a great job of telling a story. And the one-point perspective nature of the map with a menacing Minotaur hovering just above it was a great touch! Well thought out composition.

    Cheers,

    Thanks for the comment Arsheesh. Here is my final entry, fixed the upper plan view of the maze to be hand drawn.

    Wonderful work snodsy, i love the overall cruel (and sometimes funny ) flair of the map! A good choice to replace the plan view of the maze with a hand-drawn version, it makes the whole thing more coherent. I found a typo (i think? ) in the subtitle: "Nigh(t)mare".
