*** July/August Lite Mapping Challenge VOTING - a magical education ***

[Jaxilon]

That took me a while to work out. In the end I started splitting hairs as to who I felt best fit the criteria for the challenge.

I voted for Moe and tilt - Great job guys!

There were 3 others I agonized over -

(these next two I think were my favorites as far as pure gorgeousness)
Map Vandal - I really love this style and the only reason I didn't vote for it was that it seemed like a map of the town more so than the school.
Len Wolf - I love your map it looks like it came right from a magazine page. You may have suffered a tiny bit from my inability to read it due to language barriers but I still loved it.
Vascant - I thought this was a nice take. I think if you had added some depth to the image with some shadows and highlights this would have really popped. It's great as it is, just a little flat looking to my eyes.

The rest of the entries were good as well but the above ones were those that really caught my eye this round. Thanks again everyone for providing some wonderful things to look at that fire the imagination! You all rock.

To me that's better then a vote, this was only my second map I had ever done so I can walk away from this with knowing how to make it and new maps better. Since I did this map jfrazierjr has taught me a lot regarding shading and giving areas some depth Thanks

Your welcome.. I owe so much to this place, but especially RobA for the GIMP help and advice and Torstan for the advice/help with shading as well as inspiration... not to mention hundreds of others along the way.. Glad I could help you out... no go and do likewise..
