Very, very cool! I love how one scan line is super sharp and the other is blurred, and I also really like the little info-graphic on each of the cities - aw heck, I love it all. Fab entry mmmmmpig!
Well, It was a rough evening, but I got it done.
The map is of a planetary survey being done by a spacefaring civilization on a planet that is not so advanced. A combination of Photoshop and Illustrator.

Thanks much. It was a bear to do. Probably 12 hours total for this version. I started many other styles and settled on this one tonight.
