Thread: ***June 2021 Challenge Voting - Map a Magical Portal***

  1. #1

    Default ***June 2021 Challenge Voting - Map a Magical Portal***

    The challenge for the month of June was to create a map involving a magic portal or wormhole. This proved a popular challenge, judging by the number of entries and happily we have a panoply of quite excellent offerings as a result. Now it's time to choose among them a winner (or winners). This should prove challenging given the consistent quality of work on display. But whoever claims this title shall receive the highly coveted golden compass award. In addition to casting your votes, please be sure to generously rep our challengers. Polls shall be open for three days.

    Once again my commission load decided to pick up as I was half-way through the challenge... I will definitely want to finish this one, though.

    Nice work, everyone! Not an easy vote...

    I hope you do. I've always been fascinated by stepwells for some reason.

    Story of my life. I had a perfect thing to do for this map and I have like, 4 enormous commissions with thousands of dollars on the line that MUST BE DONE. Which is great, and once they're done I can probably even afford to go on a vacation. But so much for this month's challenge, I didn't even try. Well, that's the life we picked! Commission taking. It's like fishing, we take it when it comes.

    So my first introduction to sci-fi and fantasy was John Carter. To this day, I still can't resist a pulp classic, so Matte's Proxima map got my first vote ever so easily. I can just see this on the cover of an old pulp magazine.

    After that, it got a little tougher, but I eventually settled on Rubikia's Project Bifrost. Again, that kind of pulpish feel. And lastly Paritegic's Astral Sky as I found it very intriguing.

    That being said, all the entries were great this time around, and I am hoping to see more of them in the future. Maybe even through a portal or wormhole.
