April / May 2015 Lite Challenge: Mapenstein

[JefBT]

My first entry for the forum's Lite Challenge.

I made a map on wilbur, and then made half of the map in an artistic way on GIMP. The geography on the artistic side follow the wilbur heightmap.

I have to say I love everything on this, forgive me, whimsical map but that sea dragon. Sorry, and I am sure you know it yourself, but it doesn't quite fit in. Else a really nice map!

Hi JefBT, that's a great concept and a lovely realization! Good luck with your first entry!

[JefBT]

Thank you, Abu Lafia and MstrWelf.

I see now that I've made the wrong choice with that sea monster, but it sure looked cool when I placed it there. I may improve this map and put a better monster, or remove it.

[Bogie]

That's a cool Idea.

Hi, JefBT! Welcome to the challenge.

I like the concept of using Wilbur in conjunction with a regular map, and I love what you've created on the right half of the pic (though I have to agree with MstrWelf's comments about the sea monster). Hope you can work on a bit more.

[JefBT]

Thank you for the kindly comments everyone.

I've made a new version, now without the ugly sea monster, and with a new soft effect, and with a frame border. I used this arsheesh tutorial for the border.

I think I am doing something wrong here, as my map is not showing on the Current Lite Challenge Thumbnails.

I've followed all the rules and hints (at least I think I did). Can someone help me? Is this just not showing there for me?

Thank you.

[JefBT]

I think I understood now, let's try.
