No. I can't really handle any kind of competition right now. (my challenge entries here are proof of that). For some reason it just shuts down my ability to map anything. Hopefully that goes away. Plus with the caliber of entries I wouldn't have a chanceOriginally Posted by RecklessEnthusiasm
Thanks a bunch, JT! There are some pretty awesome prizes listed on the O.P.D. page--here's hoping I can take a couple home.
Will you be participating!?

Even if I am correct, I would still advise you to follow your heart. This whole Cartographers Guild thing, it seems to me, is more about passion and skill and learning new techniques than it is about definitions and rules.

That map looks great, nice job on the coloring and the transparency. If I was going to give you any criticism I'd say to take the stroke off the text, darken it just a bit and keep the glow around it. Maybe keep the stroke on the light colored call outs. As it is the stroke creates a kind of blur effect on the text making it harder to read.
Best of luck!
I'm entering RE, just trying to have something substantially completed before I post it.
Cheers, Julien

Ascension - I appreciate it. Will you be entering this year?
jtougas - that's a shame, I always love seeing what you come up with!
DevinNight - Thanks for the advice! Is this version any better?
gaemon - I'd love to see a WIP though! No need to be shy!
I just noticed that the image has a higher contrast and grittiness in the thumbnail that I kind of prefer... Hm.

in my opinion, much better. nice job.
That looks great.
(But you have a typo in encounter 3, it should be "indeed dynamite".)
Like the graffiti touch!

4. Two "r"s in "barrels". "Well-placed" and "indeed" have also suffered letter pilferage. Dang goblins!
5. The goblins would "poke" their heads out to take a "peek".
6. As already noted, remove the "the" in "the its back". It barks? Really? I guess the goblins have truly domesticated it.
9. To keep tense consistent change "catched" (which would be "caught" anyway) to "catches". It should be a comma rather than a period after "Pleeeze"
10. "Alerted" - Well, we found one of those missing letters, anyway. Huzzah! Cave sharks!
