That looks cool! Remember that coastal cities might be built in a defensible location. For example, if there is a couple islands just offshore,...

That's the best aerial photo I could find of the HMS Victory. I was disappointed to find they don't have photos taken from the crow's nest looking...

I want to kidnap you, SK, and vorro, stick you into a Dr Frankenstein blender-machine, and create UberCartographer. Every time I see an update from...

New update : increased the size of the left cartouche shields, added the timeline with the depiction of the main events in the right cartouche and...

Yeah man, easiest thing in the world (to put them together). I can help you if you don't figure out how to do it yourself! :)

Cool concept! Definitely joining this time!

True. And I guess it's kinda hard to work without be able to make mistakes cause you can't go back on them :)

@Chashio: Thanks! That's an awesome idea about the torn paper. Soon I can make a complete map using just your suggestions :D About the scanner… I...

I am continuing to experiment with different looks for my maps in photoshop, with this more organic map. I'm not sure that the way I did the edges...

Love it! Next you'll have to try a torn paper elevation map in watercolor. Could be interesting. Could be wonderful. I have been curious about...

Wow, this is so beautiful! It looks like something a Tolkien elf would paint. Or like something I'd love to frame and put on my wall :D

@Jturner Thank you! Interesting thought :D @Chashio Yup, good call. I'll focus on the actual map before the smoke! And speaking of the map…...
