Hi folks.... 
I thought (for a bit of fun) that I would post the development
of my competition map as I go along....
....It will keep changing....some times quite drastically...
and I thought that I would at least share my draft maps...normally they get deleted and never see the light of day
....Anyhow...you have seen this one before...it was my first
quick test map:
I have taken this and made a more detailed base map....
a nice clean canvas to work on....Not sure about the water yet so may change that....
The terrain is made & rendered in bryce...saved as a jpeg and then opened
in DJ.....where I will stamp loads of cool art down.
(makes a pretty nice encounter map on its own...what do you think?)

Very cool, but I'm not sure about that water either. It looks a little bit too rough.

Works great as a generic "cliff by the beach" map. Thanks for posting your
WIPs.

This is the left section of the map....its an island
offshore with lots of wrecked boats & ships....the waters
are shark-infested...yipes!
I have decided to go for a tropical theme.....pirates &
smugglers...so I will need to re-work the beach & sea on
my first map to match this.....
I have decided my map will be called 'Skeleton Coast'..
after my favorite place i have visited...the fabled coast
of namibia.....

That texture looks great, particularly under water. Those shadows there look a bit strange, though . . . I can't figure out what casts them.
I have a WIP, sort of . . . but I work much too untidy to really feel like showing it off . . .
