Though I'm disappointed that I wasn't able to participate this month, I really enjoyed watching the challenge unfold. It was hard, hard, hard to whittle down my choices to six! GP and Torq were "gimme's," but after that it came down to nit-picking. Both of those maps are very complete and have distinct character
Although Valarian is "Artistically Challenged," his map is a superb example of CC3 output, and it is one of the most finished of the entries, with good labels, compass, scale bar, and neatline. Granted, those things are easy to do in CC3, but they still give the map the extra polish it needed to push it over the top for me.
Ravells' entry is a very good representation of his typical style, and the speed-paint was impressive to me. I also like the "imaginative" names.
I just finished reading a well-illustrated book about Maya ruins, and NeonKnight nailed those glyphs. Very authentic-looking! His map is also one of the more inventive offerings.
My final vote went to jezelf for that great terrain, though perhaps any prize should be shared with Waldronate, since that map could not have been done without Wilbur.
dorpond, nemojbatkastle, and industrygothica also greatly impressed me, and it was a struggle to eliminate any of them.

Not everyone is voting with six votes... some people are still voting once ....
I voted for my six:
Redstar cos it looked great and was an inspired idea to go with snow.
Patrakis cos I liked the clean cartoony style this time.
RobA's was very brave and novel
mmmmmmmmmpig's was cool but I still reckon even more welly on the cyan !
jfraz map was just a good effort
and jezzers map looked good this time with exquisite mountains going on.
Rather pleased with my current two votes. Thanks jez but also makeit3D - now how the devil are you and stop lurking this instant !!! Are you done with your D-Day landings now and onto new pastures ?
90 Voters!!! Wow where did they all come from!!!! I'm so happy our monthly challenge is getting the attention it deserves!
The whole site seems to have hit a creative critical mass of some kind. I really try to look at every posted map thread, but it's overwhelming these days ...
