If you feel sorry for dogs being used as bait, you should also be against using fish as bait for sharks.
I see nothing wrong with this, but it seems people hate it because they see dogs as more "human" than other animals which are used as bait around the world.
PETA will have a field day.
Yeah i know its not exactly the best CS:S map, but i map what they tell me to map (originally i had a map half-finished which was my own creation of a strip club but they dismissed it and told me to make this current map). It was either stretch the map out horizontally (which is what i did), or make it wider. It was easier to stretch it horizontally as it didnt interfere with as much geometry as making it wider would. After playtests the map plays pretty well, as theres many paths to take, but yes, theres little cover unless you purposely find somewhere to hide yourself from bullets.
Yup, here ya go:

The map has been stretched out so that its not as crunched up as players would have a really hard time navagating through the areas. Detail has also been toned down in places as the map already gets ~40 fps and occasionally drops as low as 20 fps which needs to be fixed somehow.
Well this is all built off a real place. The guy who wants the map done wants it spot on (including lighting), so theres nothing i could really do. So far all the lights are in the same areas as the real place, but a few lightblocks here and there couldent hurt i guess.
Yup the bar has computers to keep track of orders (this is an actual place im mapping). Theres around 10-14 custom textures and a few custom models in the map aswell.

Just a some custom models and a few details to add in and it should be complete.
Silly goths.
Well the map im making has nothing pornographic in it.. yet 
Ive had 2 new PC's and moved from 3 different continents since i started mapping (lived in South Korea, Poland and the USA). Ive lost work in the past due to alot of reasons (not having the internet being one), and only have recently joined a mapping/gamesite community (~2004), so all my work has mostly been rated by friends and seeing myself improve.
As for the company - as long as i get paid for the work i do ill map for them. Ive already gotten 2/3 of my payment, so im almost done with the first project.
Previous HL maps which might be around:
Preperation_X/Y
DE_GoCarts6k
CS_QuickFight
SW_Ferret
Outhouse
And a ton which i forgot.
Never heard of that map, but the place i designed the map around was a real place. I worked off of pictures and videos, so its a spot on recreation. I guess maybe the other map was built off the area aswell?
To put it simply, advertising 
The company is called AEBN. They publish adult content and control alot of the adult industry. Dont ask why they want a map, too complicated to explain, but i needed the cash and expirience so i took the job.
Screens dont seem to be working.. Whats a good image host? Image shack, XS.TO and Putfile are really shitty right now.
Screens from previous maps:

Figured since ive got a job mapping now, id sign up here for criticism and help and maybe even an idea or two. Ive been mapping for the HL franchise for about 5-6 years now, and been doing pretty well. Some recent work by me is de_crookcounty and cs_noir, and ive got an upcoming map which should be out in a week or two at most. Ive heard you guys are professional here, so ill try and keep up
