    Please finish it, Hoel, it's a real beauty in the making.

    Man this month is going to be tough to decide on.

    Never thought about plates...awesome idea. My sis drug me to the mall for Christmas so that I could carry her new plates around (2 boxes, each 45 pounds, no idea on how many kilos that is) but anyway, there were more cool plates than I could shake a stick at. I got mine at Wal-Mart, an Aztec looking thing that I always thought was cool cuz it was black and blue with some gold.

    Ravells: I probably will finish it in time. 4 days to go... I'll se if I get the legend done thou, if I don't I'll finish it and post it later.

    Ascension: That one was cool. I was lucky and found pictures with consistent flat lighting, that helped a bunch when I did the shields

    Looking good. I“d hand over some rep, but I've been giving you to much of that lately to be allowed to do it again.

    I had the same problem a while back. I eventually went with a cog since I couldn't find any decent galley images, and I advanced the date of the map to the point where that would be appropriate. Rather frustrating, really.

    I really like your emblems, but they rather overshadow the beautiful map. I find myself torn: I don't want them to go away, but I really want to be able to see more of the map itself.

    The banners are quite big, but since they were the main object of the challenge, I thought the map could take a back seat for this one.

    Where's the powerrangers?
    Do you mean the lightning bolt and lauerels on the top of the Moenia poles? They are for Heironeous of the D&D pantheon

    Ok. Almost there. A halv dozen banners left. Some nomadic tribes to the west and some natives of the northern tundra.
