Hmm, I can see that this would be a really challenging map to make, but it's a shame you aren't continuing with it. It was shaping up nicely for a mind-bending kinda setting, reminiscent of the works of Neil Gaiman.
Good luck finding your new subject, Mouse.

Thanks Wingshaw
I very much admire his novels. Maybe that is where some of this is coming from on a subconscious level?
I think the problem isn't so much with the concept, as with my ability to put it on paper
I haven't thrown it away altogether just yet

Here's an offshoot idea.
A spherical force field would presumably be easier to maintain than a cube, so I swapped the cubes out for spheres.
The effects I was afraid of losing by doing this in ISO perspective can be sort of balanced out by having the spheres arranged in a curving string. This means everything within each sphere will be ISO perspective, but real perspective will come into play in the space between the spheres... if you see what I mean?
*Mouse scratches her own head and frowns as she tries to work out if any of it makes sense*

I like this. I like this idea a lot. Maybe, within one of those spheres, there's a set of spheres that shows our dimension? Or in which the Cartographers' Guild runs the universe...

Hmmm...
What a good job this is a 2 month challenge and I've started nice and early

I'm thinking a nebula in the background.

Ooooooh pretty! I think the ISO will work pretty well in this format.
Thank you D
I'm thinking I'm fairly well into this idea now - even though the colour reflections on the force fields need sorting out, and there are at least 6 small ISO maps to be drawn before its done - a nice sharp accurate one for each of the largest spheres. (The smaller ones can just contain a suggestion of what's in them).
Any ideas how to map out the internal 3D volume of a sphere in ISO? I need to work out how tall my buildings/trees/mountains can be, depending on where they sit on the equatorial plane in each sphere.
That means I need to work out how to project the ISO grid on the equatorial plane that bisects each sphere onto the outer surface, given a parallel light source from below.
(I really don't like making things too easy for myself, do I)

No you dont !
But they look good for it
