Drew it myself... I tried searching for a tetris pattern at first but couldn't find anything that looked good without watermarks, so I made one myself. I just used the render grid filter to draw a grid of 18x18 squares, then coloured them with the fill tool until I had a large enough, repeating pattern of tetris blocks, then added a little bevel and such to make the squares more tetris-like. Also, I used a NES palette for the colours!

I was going to draw a soviet/communist map, but DiM is too fast for me (or he has more free time ;))

Anyway I decided to develop a space view....it's different from what I had in mind (it's not totally finished :oops: ) but i'm really short with time so here we go:

yeah perspective is a bit not realistic....the size limits forced me to play with sizes a bit........but who cares? :P
A bit of creativity/fantasy doesn't hurt ;)

Yeah, creativity is what this is all about. Nice work! I like the clouds, there's a real feeling of movement in them...
