My completed map for the March-April 2018 Lite Challenge, “Map Guildworld.” This is a total departure from my normal style but the concept of a sci-fi HUD popped into my brain and wouldn’t leave. This is my first sci-fi map and the first map I’ve created that did not start with pencil and paper. Everything was done in Photoshop. However, everything except the galaxy (which came from NASA's public images) and the beginning on the moon (which started as a photo of a slice of Swiss cheese) was drawn by hand using a Wacom Intuos tablet, then manipulated further in Photoshop. The font is Montalban, available from dafont.com.

This map is inspired in part by Star Trek:TNG's LCARS (the interface) and in part by the Viper cockpit screen from Battlestar Galactica (the color palette). Much of the text on the left side is a nod to the Cartographer's Guild website, including its menus and site leaders.
