Would a hand drawn map based on a book or movie violate any of the copyright rules for the challenge?
If no-one minds, I'd like to try that too. I *have* shot myself in the foot a bit by choosing A3, but I have to in order to accommodate a bigger map. My pens are too thick and my scanner too small to do much else, and my rather lame defence is that I draw so few maps, I felt this one should probably follow the same theme as an earlier piece of work.
Well, live and learn; I'll do what I can to get a digital camera shot to go alongside, like Jaxilon suggests, and I'll consider sticking to villages and stuff for the next challenge.

I don't think so, fan art is usually not a copyright violation. Of course, if you were going to sell it then you might be headed into some problems.

Thank you for clearing that up. My idea is to create a street map of a city from Game of Thrones and what it would look like today with streets, highways and railroads etc.
Well, great, not only did I have extra work I had to take care of on Saturday but we got slammed by family and friends. Now I feel like I am really behind. I did a bunch of experimenting and I know what I want to do now but it's all going to depend on how much time I can squeeze out of the evenings this week. Also this weekend is ComicCon in Phoenix so I think myself and a buddy may be going to check that out. If so I'm really under the crunch and not sure if I can get all of my project together on time.

"Figures that you suddenly get all kinds of life when you have something you really want to do".. I think it must be your karma at work I've only been on this forum for a "relatively" (internet wise) short time, but the amount of feedback and
number of entries is really impressive. This ought to be a recurring challenge. The voting part of this challenge is going to stress all of us. Oops. just spotted the "regular" in the challenge description.

Ok ... I was planning on closing this challenge tomorrow night, but then Jax mentioned the 31st. So, what does everyone think? A couple more days, or should it end tomorrow so that we can get voting done by the 31st and start a new challenge on the 1st?

I'd be glad of having a few extra days for finishing touches.
Well, I'm all for a few more days myself but according to the rules which I just double checked since I didn't really remember:
That said, I would at least like to be able to get my entry scanned in tomorrow and posted but whatever is fair to all gets my vote.Entry deadline - Entries for each Challenge must be posted prior to the last five days of that particular Challenges month.

Yeah, definitely you'd have time to scan and such; I was planning on closing the challenge between 11pm and midnight tomorrow night. Hm. Split the difference and close it Monday night?
