Thats awesome!

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Yes, that's some very nice style.

 

[Birdjaguar]

Very nice map!

 

[vruchten]

thanks... is acctually the first one in that style, and i`m still working on it.. there is still a lot of tuning to be done and i want to include more details...

 

[Angst]

I really like that map, yes.

The OzzyKP map, right? Some of the proportions are a bit off (the Sheaim peninsula is too big, the Luchuirp peninsula is too small), and I see you altered some of the starting spots/capital locations, but great otherwise and I suppose the proportions could be explained away as Medieval stylisation.

If someone were to start a FFHNES based on the OzzyKP map I would be this much more inclined to join in.

[Immaculate]

Vrutchen: thats gorgeous... i recognize the style i think: did you watch that Fantasy Cartography tutorial online? maybe i am wrong... it looks similar in tems of the paper and the edges,also the repeat forest/mountains/water? motifs????

truely beautiful though- very gorgeous. you can tell you worked hard and enjoyed the labor.

 

[vruchten]

Some historical maps that might be useful as reference material.

 

[flyingchicken]

About the maps: yes. Another good place with many of the same maps is the University of Texas online library, which I've been using since, oh, ITNES days.

Posteritizing! Everyone with similar resources, share please!

This: http://www.ieg-maps.uni-mainz.de/ is german, but i guess it`s easy to understand.
i like the Serie 2: Europa 1504-2008

This be what I meant. Also, I have a better version of your map here (saving in MSPaint adds 200 KB from where? God!), though I bet it could be 50 KB smaller, since the ones in the OP are.

Anyone have a world map of around 1860-65 off hand? I prefer original version, but any would be nice. This would help me out in that I won't have to search the hundreds of pages of map threads . And not the version supermath has on page 2 please.

Thanks!
