    Default Costal Nesymarin - 16th century style map

    This map was inspired by a map by Mercator of the Indian Ocean which is in a book I recently bought. I love the style and wanted to see if I could make something like it. It's not too big since it was mostly an experiment, but I'm happy with how it turned out.

    Very nice! You did a good job of replicating that style! The only criticism is they usually have forests/forested areas marked by tree symbols as well.

    Nice. It's clean and crisp and has latitude and longitude lines, which are always nice.
