Can someone enter more than once? I have two ideas... and am *this* close to just doing them both.
My Finished Maps
Works in Progress(or abandoned tests)

Explanation of Layer Masks in GIMP
How to create ISO Mountains in GIMP/PS using the Smudge tool

Hi, I thinking about entering this (Challenge virgin here) How large should these be and what dpi?
There's no restriction on image size (though the site limits the size of attached files) or on dpi.
However, people often want to use these sorts of maps for games, and there's a standard 100 pixels per grid best practice for most virtual tabletops. So, if you set the document up at 100dpi, and have a 1 inch square grid, that should work great for most uses, and keep the overall pixel size of the image manageable.
But you can win these challenges with an 800px wide map or an 8000px wide map - it's more about the content than the specs. Welcome to the challenge, jump right in!
I've been swamped as of late, so haven't had the chance to dedicate tiem to this. Hopefully I can come up with something in the very near future and make something decent before the deadline.
I have what I think is a great idea for this. However, I can't get to it until next week and the way things have been lately it's been so hard to find time for art. Here's hoping.

OK, got my idea... Now I just need to get around to doing it.
Shouldn't voting start today?
It probably should have, but I don't have the heart to close all the entries without a warning ... so here's the warning.
This challenge will close tomorrow at 10pm EDT (uh ... I think that's 2am GMT).
Gidde's just zis girl, you know?
