Well, if it was just the walled in area, then it'd be Constantinople or Byzantion... depends on what time period you're looking at. Istanbul spreads over both sides of the Bospohorus and on the opposite side of the Golden Horn.

One thing that I always challenge myself to do is attempt to try either North America, the Americas together, or the entire world all by hand and with no tools/maps to cheat off of. My best one is from 2 years ago but I don't have it with me. I'll try to have it scanned to me. It's my best, but it's still pretty bad =(

This is the first real map I did of Thyseneal:

If my standard of cool is nerdy, then yes.

Here's one i did for a cartographersguild challege. You had to map 2 points and a pathway full of danger between the points. Most did cities, but I chose a different approach. My kids came up with the idea, and helped decide the danger points. Notice the zombie in the upper right? (It's a big one - actually produced twice this size).

ROFL! We need more names like that, no doubt.
I'll start saving! :D

Edit: No wait! Don't tell me there's an actual Dingle Bingle Hill as well?! :shock:

hehe. Amazing.

I always wonder how names such as those come about. I grew up in a town called 'Farum', which originated when the the first German settlers.... well, settled. South of the town there's a lake, and explaining the directions to their brethren they would go "Fahr Uhm [the lake]", that is - go around the lake.

See how that makes sense? Now try to make the same sense of Dingle Bingle Hill and Farfrompoopen Road :-s
I can't help but smile no matter where that thought takes me :D
