    Default *** February 2015 challenge*** Evolving map

    This month, the challenge is to make a map that shows an evolution of his subject.

    The work has to show at least two maps showing this evolution but you're free to do a lot more. Remember that all maps have to be shown on one and only file.

    You can depict the growth of a city in its multiple stages, show a plan of a magnificent castle and the plan after its ruin during the war that ravaged the kingdom, draw a map of a continent showing the succesive political changes along its history or create the blueprints showing how the starship Falcon MK-II slowly became the Condor MK-I

    As usual, please make sure to title your threads: February 2015 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 the 1st of March after which there will be a 4 day voting period. The winner will receive a shiny new golden compass!

    Damn it, I wish I was making my map in Photoshop and not in hand on paper! That's something I'm already doing
    A map must contain the following four elements: Title, Author, Scale and Orientation. It should also contain these two elements: Date and Legend. Without these, it's just a piece of paper with something on it.

    Or make use of paper against a window with sunlight shining through over and over again
    I've done that a few times when I've screwed up my hand drawn maps. Speaking of which...I should probably post one soon

    It's similar to the past challenge 'two maps of the same place' - I'll have to find out, if I find time and an idea ...
