    Default June/July '23 Lite Challenge: Map this Shape.

    June/July '23 Lite Challenge: Map this Shape.
    An oldie but goodie.. Take this shape that I (and Google Maps) have provided and use it to create a map.
    Use it anyway you want, Make an Island or a continent, make a pond or a huge lake or even the ocean.
    Whatever you want, just make it interesting.

    Please remember to title each thread: "June/July '23 Lite Challenge: < your title here >"

    Also remember to preface each image you want to show up in the thumbnail scraper with: ### Latest WIP ###
    (If you don't, your map won't show up for the voters at voting time, which might hurt your chances. ) Try using the WIP Icon to make it nice and easy.

    Please note: If you put more than one image on the same post, only one of them gets picked up by the picture scrapper
    and it might not be the one you want.

    The challenge will end on or about the 14th of July, after which we'll have 3 days of voting. The winner of this challenge will receive a silver compass, you know you need one!

    Quick rules reminder: The Lite Challenge is open to anyone who has not already won 3 Silver compasses, 1 Gold Compass, or been selected as a featured Cartographer's Choice Map.
    Also, the map has to be started on or after the first day of the challenge, no reusing older maps even if they were not finished, unless you start over from scratch.

    DEADLINE: End of day, July 14.
    Same shape different format. Use whichever format you wish to use.

    Is it just me, or does that shape vaguely resemble a profile shot of an arachnid warrior bug from
    the Starship Troopers movie?
    GW

    One's worth is not measured by stature, alone. By heart and honor is One's true value weighed.

    I think it's just you. That's clearly a badly decomposed zombie triceratops.

    Edit: OK, I think I see your point.

    Can the shape be rotated or does it have to stay in the same exact position?

    You can rotate it and even modify it a little. As long as the basic shape is still recognizable.

    Great! I think have an idea, so hopefully I'll get something up soon.

    This shape reminds me of the French Austral Territories.
