As a brand new map I'm designing, the new map is dubbed cp_sinkhole, which is a capture point layout found deep within a sinkhole.
The map discards the traditional linear layout, and instead curves around the inner rim of a deep sinkhole. It will look similar to Star Wars Utapau level, where many of the civilization were found built within the sinkholes of the planet. The map will be nicely detailed, to the point of where you will be able to see your opponents bases who is found on the opposite side of the chasm!
This map has been well thought out, and thus I won't be making previous mistakes such as claustrophobic or unbalanced levels. There will be more diverse paths to take, and as such there will be more balance, as I made key locations for sentry guns, as well as dark corners for the predators such as the pyro or spy. The map also has it's larger zones , where snipers and soldiers can take advantage of. And don't forget that chasm; many snipers can take heart that the level is designed with them in mind!
Stay tuned, as cp_sinkhole will become released very soon!

Many of you know that I released my first custom map, and have a 24/7 server hosting it, along with other official maps. While it may not be material for good balanced gameplay, it is a nice running start on my future of map-building.
I plan to use my server to host a large circle of beautiful and cummounity-friendly maps. While my ctf_catacomb doesn't fit the bill for a large map (let alone balanced), I am very soon going to begin a series of maps.
Personally, I prefer making maps that are completely original, and have no connection with anything else. That being said, I am probably going to splurge on that and build a few maps based from other games regarding map landscapes. After which, I will apply a decent player balanced environment to it. I plan to make map modes such as ctf, koth, and arena matches. And if I really get going, I may even make a territorial control map based on Disneyland! 
My map-building career may have just begun, so expect a long line of awesome maps, found on my new 24/7 server!
