I enjoy making maps that present a challenge, something new that i've never dealt with before. I love overcoming the obstacles of incorporating a difficult or tricky idea into the maps I make and finally seeing it through in the end. I don't really like re-creating maps again and again, like for example I did the Pride Lands map, and then I did a 'realistic' version of that, and although the two are profoundly different, because it was based on a similar subject manner I didn't get into it as much as I would have when designing a map I was more interested in.
I think I love creating maps with the 'realistic' base now, like the Verto Animus maps, but I enjoy adding in that flare of fantasy, it leaves it open for me to add wonderful things into my maps, and make them something more that what they would be if I just left them completely realistic.
