Reply With QuoteThere were some good ones, but I went with Bogie's Broadway Tower. I really like the amount of detail, and how the ground gets progressively blurrier the further up you are.

****** May/June Lite Challenge VOTING: Verticality ******
It's time to vote again!
This month's lite challenge was to map a vertical structure; up or down, floor plan or pictorial, as long as the structure had at least 5 levels. We have some great entries this month
Please vote for ONE entry. The thumbnails can be found here:

Voting as usual is very hard to pick. Lots of great maps.
atpollard and LindaJeanne both have very nice towers done in a clean architectural style. Simon33600 and anomiecoalition both have terrific entries in a similar style to mine, and they both used a lot of my art which is cool. Depassage snuck in at the last minute with a very colorful well drawn map that I think i will be using in a game soon. Fury's Tower is very original. Kearnaun's pagoda is very clean and precise in an iso style. BUT I had to vote for Jaxillon's caves, the art is just to damn good! And it kills me to do that because the last time I voted for him he beat me by one vote, Mine. LOL! Gotta put the vote where it is deserved.

Difficult choice again...
I know we can only choose one, but my top 3 would be:
1/ A Glass Tower - by atpollard: nice work and good idea of recycling a part of an existing building, also many details.
2/ Arcology of the Naelii - by LindaJeanne: good concept and realisation.
3/ Golgath Caverns - by Jaxilon: nice artwork.
The others have also many good points, but were lacking some features I would expected, for example an overall view or some other graphic elements (title, legend, background, etc.). I just realise now that I didn't put any legend... arf...
Great work everyone!
Those are my top three as well. This is a tough one, I went back and forth, but in the end I'm going with Jax's Golgath Caverns. Wish I could have voted for all three. Great job everyone.Originally Posted by Depassage

Yep, me too. Tough tough tough decision! I love the design of the Glass Tower by atpollard; the stained glass windows combined with the flying buttresses is beautiful. I did feel that the floor plans for such a delicate building were a bit heavy. I'm biased toward Jax's caves, because he did a fabulous job hand drawing it... and I'm biased toward LindaJeanne's because it's a similar idea for something I started designing some time ago and it's very well laid out. But it did take me a minute to figure out if it was concave or convex on account of a lack of shadows and my pea-sized brain.So I'm gonna have to go with... tick tick tick tick hmm... 3 minutes, 9 minutes, 10:56, tick tick... type type type. backspace. type type type type. highlight, delete, type type type type type ****E!
11:05... 11:07
never mind.
What a nail biter, this looks like it might come right down to the wire.
