Please define "real cut-away". Does that mean a vertical cross section view, or what? Also, do you want us to use "Avril" rather than "April" for the thread titles?
This month, the challenge is to do a cut-away map. Be sure that the map is a real cut-away, not just a simple side-view though. It could be a cut-away of a medieval manor, a cut-away of a troops transport spaceship, a cut-away of a giant dead tree trunk where fairy folks have build a settlement inside or a cut-away of a dungeon hidden in a sleeping volcano. Well, I guess you got the idea, now you just have to work your magic!
As per usual, please include the following to your entry thread:
Title each new thread April 2015 Entry - <your title>
Precede each WIP image with the tag ### Latest WIP ###.
The contest will end sometime around the first of May and a fter a couple days of voting, the winner shall receive a golden compass and congratulations from his peers!

I think it might be best to include some examples so people understand.
To my understanding you mean something along the lines of this image (a perspective cut-away) or this one (a side-view one). Is that right?
I've only really drawn one proper cut-away map before (which is here) so would something similar to that be acceptable?

My new Deviant-thing. I finally caved.
The three examples are perfect Larb. Actually they are all good samples of cut away maps (@ Sarithus : I think they would look better as maps once displaying some informations ) I'll try to link more examples tommorrow.
Well a deckplan of something or sideview of a building or complex of buildings would count. You are just showing the internals rather than the external - with labels and stuff to make it mappy. Imagine one of those side view maps for a cruise ferry or cruise liner - that would be an example.
I think something like the sunset tower map that is in my gallery from a previous challenge would fit the criteria too.

We have a loose interpretation of what constitutes a "map' here at CG.
This is another example of a side view map that I did for a challenge a couple years ago. It is more mapish, and less illustration. This challenge is open to a lot of possibilities.
