Irock couldn't make good maps to save his life, but who out there is not so hopeless and can create realistic, impressive or unique maps?
Providing examples of your nominee's work would be very beneficial in them perhaps getting more votes!
I was pretty impressed by Irock's mapping in his latest GIAW entry (http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,35261.0.html). I also found an old map of his that was very likeable (http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,13626.msg417107.html#msg417107). So I nominate him :-)
I nominateeee

What about Maia? I nominate her.
Joy did some pretty amazing mapping for her games. Example (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v648/joymason/rpgmaker/LocusScr-08.jpg)
Reives of course goes without saying. Example (http://quintessence-tbv.com/images/WhereIsQ-tbv.png)
And NAMKCOR has been showing a lot of improvement. Example (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v259/psycho-mantis/Planeswalker/Screenshot_Swamp.jpg)
