*** December 2014 challenge: Sponsored by Filter Forge***

[ravells]

Greetings Mappers!

This month's challenge is sponsored by Filter Forge ('FF'). FF is a node based editor which allows you to build your own filters and textures. It can be used as a stand alone or as a plug-in with Photoshop. In addition to building your own textures from scratch you can choose from thousands of filters/textures made by other FF users either as they come or edited by you.

In this month's challenge you can make any map you like but it must prominently use one or more FF filters (either made from scratch by you, or downloaded from the site 'as is' or edited by you).

The winning map will be chosen by Filter Forge (not the usual community vote).
You can download a fully operational trial version of FF Professional (valid for 30 days) from their site here.

As usual, please make sure to title your threads: December 2014 Challenge: <your title here>

Also, don't forget to precede each work in progress picture with the label: ### Latest WIP ### This way the thumbnail scraper can find your entry.


This challenge will end on or around 15th January 2015. In addition to the coveted Golden Compass, the winner will receive a free licence to FF Professional (which usually retails at $399 - but is currently being sold for a limited period for $99).

As always, Good luck and Happy Holidays!
