Geomorph Map Contest #4 - my 2nd entry

For the #geomorphmapcontest no. 4 theme of #tomb - (http://inkwellideas.com/2015/05/early-tomb-geomorphmapcontest-entries/) - In the abyssal depths a lone earth servant stumbled upon a wondrous geode of magically infused rock. Breaking into the core the servant, and its kin, discovered a great yellow-blue crystal hovering in the center. They sensed something entombed within but dare not break its seals.

Geomorph Map Contest #4

For the #geomorphmapcontest no. 4 theme of #tomb - (http://inkwellideas.com/2015/05/shrine-geomorphmapcontest-winners/) - the Ziggurat of  Ah-kata-ton the Corpulent, fond of ostentatious presentations during and after life (his spirit continues to appear atop his tomb, in full regalia, to this day).

Inkwell Ideas Geomorph Map Contest #3

Inkwell Ideas has continued the theme with a third contest (http://inkwellideas.com/2015/05/initial-shrine-geomorphmapcontest-entries/ ) with the theme of shrine. (Entries are due by May 18th.)

My two entries, returning to the surface world, are the "Shrine of the Eastern Wind" and the "Shrine of the Western Seas."
Playing around, again, with multi-level geomorphs with paths in non-standard forms (walkways and docks for example).

Inkwell Ideas Geomorph Map Contest #2 (2nd entry)

Inkwell Ideas has kicked off a second contest (http://inkwellideas.com/2015/04/geomorph-map-contest-2 ) whose theme is lava. (Entries due by May 5th.)

This geomorph shows a set of stairs descending into a chamber whose bottom is filled with mostly encrusted lava except for a small circular area used for some purpose, where the lava has not cooled.

Inkwell Ideas Geomorph Map Contest #2

Inkwell Ideas has kicked off a second contest (http://inkwellideas.com/2015/04/geomorph-map-contest-2 ) whose theme is lava. (Entries due by May 5th, but since I had an inspiration, I wanted to draw it before I saw something similar from someone else.)

This geomorph shows an underground complex that suffered the ravages of an unexpected lava eruption into the chambers, filling some with lava, collapsing walls and making baked mayhem. :)

Inkwell Ideas Geomorph Map Contest

The fine folks over at Inkwell Ideas have kicked off a Geomorph contest (using the now standard 10x10, 2 exits per side format popularized by Dyson Logos and others) - http://inkwellideas.com/2015/04/geomorph-map-contest-coming-soon/ - I've attached my two entries, in the style of my #micromaps.

Micro Map of the Week - 4-12-2015

My #micromapoftheweek follows #pastpresentandfuture by combining my prior theme #intothewoods , my present theme #acrossthewastes and a future theme (something like #ontheocean or #overtheseas ) ...

Eventually the wastes come to an end, for they have yet to swallow the entire realm. In one area, the wastes meet the deep woods at water's edge. There a lone obelisk rises, overlooking the expanse of the ocean beyond. Its purpose or nature, so far, unknown to all.
