Aug/Sep Lite Entry - Textbook Treasure GOLD!
I am very inexperienced, but I thought I would give this a shot. I am a little sad that there is only 1 other person in this month's challenge, so far. Please join up!
I'm planning on a tiny port town with a pier and a sunken ship that once had treasure (GOLD!) I want the end product to look like it's a textbook illustration teaching students of a historic treasure-laden ship that sunk and was later recovered. Here is the first step of my map:

Interesting start, I like the perspective as you can show things under water.
I would love to participate in this challenge as well, but the rules state I can't

Oh, now this sounds interesting. I'm intrigued to see how this goes. A different approach is sometimes a good thing.

Not sure if I'm heading in the right direction. I have a lot more to do obviously before I finish. I wanted to get some advice. Please critique:

I love where this is going. And having a very different style of map than what's expected won't hurt your chances at all - check mine in the regular competition, I wasn't expecting to get ANY votes
In terms of critique, I would suggest toning down the black edges, maybe a slightly darker tone than the water itself, I find the lines to be a bit harsh and distracting as they are. Definitely need something for the edges like that though.
Brilliant idea!

Looks good and looks fun.

Looking great! And I'd second what Coyotemax said too.
I very much like it!
The transistion from surface to underground might need a black border as well.

Liking it ! Will keep and eye on your entry.
Well done so far. I like unusual stuff too.
I think it has come a long way. Please critique, if needed. Maybe I am done
