Conquer Club

I dunno if anyone has seen this, but there is a map contest over at They Draw and Travel. There's going to be $2000 prize cash awarded, the first place getting $1000 and the other four at $200. The contest is to draw a map of your favorite place. The deadline is a little tight, but its feasible if you're quick, July 24th.

Check it out here: http://www.theydrawandtravel.com/contest

I intend on entering... so stay tuned to this thread for updates.

currently submitted maps can be seen here: http://www.theydrawandtravel.com/search?browse=all&page=1#search_results

nice link - those are very different styles of map. Very little "map" elements to a lot of them - more art really. But I may take a stab at that. Not much time though -

i'm working on mine IH. you got anything in yet?

I've got a draft and the final work penciled and prepainted. I'm hoping to lay in the main colors tonight.

make sure you guys also post here when you enter the contest in case we can vote or something

well i have a shit load to do on this in the next few days. I really hope I can have something to submit. crazy busy this time of year. but this is what I have right now. I'm going to be adding some "flare" to the edges and the map itself, along with labeling.



(edit) - it's charleston, sc (again) btw. My favorite city.

Looks nice!

tack might like this one. Here's the citadel i added this morning.

I'll be submitting in the morning...

Good luck! And yes, be sure to let us know if there is a public vote or something. It would be great if your art could garner support from the rest of CC

that looks great IH. Keep in mind that deadline is today (Sunday) midnight USA Eastern Time. Like 10 hours from now. Not sure how that translates to Japan time

Yeah, i just submitted it. Did you finish yours on time RJ?

Good luck guys. I wanted to do one for CCC, but simply didn't have time as other things impeded

about to submit.

here's mine, quarter of the final size. Those maps were huge and pushed the limits of my laptop I work from. Yeah, I mapped Charleston SC again, my favorite city.






little different than this huh..

Wow... very beautiful. Very clean and crisp lines, a nice benefit from using a computer, but there is no absence of life in the map (which sometimes happens with computer images). I really regret not having visited Charleston yet, one day I suppose. I'll be using your map as a guide

Well done! That looks fantastic

You both had beautiful entries, gl! hope one of you can bring home 1k.. or at least 200

RJ that map is just killer. Sweeeeet! Helix your map is very nice also. Well done!

Rj, congrats on a fantastic effort, That's super and surely a winning entry.

i wish we had more artistic maps like that on CC.

Best of luck to you both! Having the winners announced Friday is closer than I thought it would be...

I'll forgive you for orientating 2nd Battalion in the wrong direction relative to the Ashley by how damn beautiful the map is (for reference, 2nd battalion is almost directly facing away from the Ashley River).

beal you should get in touch put with all those companies and establishments you have put on the map get them to all vote for you (not that you need it!)


Beautiful effort, but then again we didn't expect anything less!
