Some are under the impression that all's been done, they view the repetition of elements such as

as inevitable and acceptable. I say Pish Posh!

Let's show these naysayers that the creativity of us NEDitors knows no bounds! The challenge is to come up with a new themed tile shape that has not been found yet, if a map can be produced on NUMA with a date preceding your post, then the submission will be declined.

This is not a contest, it's just for fun and hopefully lead to some inspired and interesting designs!

I'll start things off. I'm not sure if this exact design for mushrooms has been used before, please link me to evidence if they have. More importantly, let's see some of your own themed shapes.

Anyway e_s, notice the themed aspect of the challenge? You need to create something and tell us what it is.

I dunno what this is really, it's kinda abstract. I think it's either a meteor smashing into a planet or an alien factory jettisoning debris. Either way I think this is going to work it's way into my mappack ^^

I'm looking for themed tiles; random shapes that look cool aren't really the point of this.

Those are nice, though.

Ooh, my apologies, but just so you know, I was basing that onto a flower I once saw. It was weird cause it was a normal flower, but my little cousin ripped parts off here and there, and it ended up looking like a whole new flower.

And here's another one. The top heart is one that's hurt, and the two bottoms are broken. I tried to go for the effect where you see on some animes where the heart just shatters.
