Reply With QuoteCool! Hopefully I can get something in, but I'm not sure. Is the challenge just basically mapping a whole planet, or are there some other implications?
*** May/June Challenge *** Planetary survey
This month's challenge is to create a planetary survey. This might be our efforts to survey Gliese 581d for future colonisation or it could be aliens surveying earth for ley lines, or even a map of spelljammer landing points on an asteroid hurtling towards a planet.
This month is about thinking big. Consider the information you'd want to show about a whole planet and how you could display that cleanly. Remember, your showing information about the planet, but the type of information and the style it's displayed tells us a lot about the surveyors too.
This challenge will end on the 15th of June. The winner will get a shiny silver compass, and a $40 store voucher from Profantasy

@Ares96 - Here's an example I did a while ago for a similar challenge... Click Me
Final version on Pg. 4 of the thread. Maybe it will give you some inspiration.

Hey, that's pretty sweet, SG. Rep coming your way for that.

Looks like Captain Carol Mayer and the Nebraska might make a appearance....

Is this supposed to be sticky? It seems to slide down the list. For a moment I thought Torstan was trying to pull a fast one and had entered the light Challenge himself

I went and stickied it. Hadn't noticed. Thanks, Jax.

I still haven't come up with a unique an awesome concept yet but have been testing and practicing making a planet and produced this one of planet Earth. (Using this tutorial for GIMP)
Hopefully this is helpful for anyone.
Cheers, Julien
