Don't say you weren't warned!  I told you somebody would make
a map of it.  SBCM sent me an icon picture of himself (32x32 
pixels).  I used NIH Image to scale it to 96x96, and to reduce
the noise.  Then bolotomy converted the result to a nice BMAP.

Initially I was going to touch up the result with a BMAP editor,
but after looking at the map for some time, I decided that it 
was sort of artistic just as it was.  So it is what it is.

Those of you familiar with the SBCM's features may recognize
a faint resemblence.   He has a full beard that is depicted 
with forest, per the man's request.

I have loaded the map with 13 pills and 13 bases.  They are
pretty evenly scattered.  Though the eyes are a bit too close...
probably indicating a criminal nature in the model.

The portrait is framed by a tree border.  There is a lot of swamp
and rubble and water to contend with (my favorite kind of map).
