the idea with the cartouche was to make it look different to the rest of the map. the effect wi was going for was a mix between hand-painted and printed and my assumption was that the cartouche was a copperplate print on the map itself, though the texture can easily be toned down on the original PSD.

this is amazing! Beautiful work.

Masterpiece indeed! I especially love your mountains.

Absolutely fantastic. I can only hope that my efforts will be as good someday...

Great job! We need more people like that!

Wow that is simply stunning work. Love the detail you've gone to

I would like to have a print of this for my wall
