    Post Two Completed Challenge Maps

    I tend to always to forget to post my completed maps here so here is my first post in this thread with my last two challenge maps.

    First was Nov/Dec the Vincius Family Asteroid Farm from my space opera universe

    I like them a lot, especially the latter one! Great use of color and texture. The arrangement on the latter is a bit crowded to my eye, but that's just a minor nitpick. Very attractive maps, kudos.

    Sphere 3 is missing an "n" in "Unkown". Also, how is it a "frozen liquid" if it is of unknown composition? If you don't know what it is, how would you know it was a room-temperature liquid (the only sensible way to take that description)? It would just be a solid. I might call it an "unknown icy solid" if it seemed ice-like, but unanalyzable. For that matter, gemstones are distinguished by their use in jewelry and resultant value. An unknown sphere would just be an unknown mineral. Okay, at this point, I'm probably starting to overthink it.

    Thanks for the kind words and reputation Kelleri, Francesca

    @rdanhenry
    Yes your comments make me realize when I make a map, I have to start thinking of the text as the mapmaker would say it rather than from the God's eye view as the world builder if that makes sense
