Thread: Chronicles of Caeruin

Hey guys, thank you all!

"the straight lines criss-crossing many portolan charts represent the thirty-two directions (or headings) of the mariner's compass from a given point. This is similar to the compass rose displayed on later maps and charts. Naming or demonstrating all thirty-two points is called boxing the compass."

Sounds reasonable, thanks for the info and the link!

Yeah, ditto! My God, those are all simply beautiful. I hope we see many, many, many more maps from you!

Oh yes, you will. Right now I'm working on a very large map in which I have already invested thounsands of hours. The current part is however quite demanding and discouraging because I need to place about tenthousand names of villages, citys and states on the map, not to mention all the decorative elements and texts. However, fourth is already done. The motivation I needed to continue I got now.

Hallo Nachbar!
I am very glad that I have not missed that thread. Very beautiful maps you have and thanks for sharing! *REP*

Hey, noch ein Ruhrpottler! Grüß dich und danke fürs reppen.

The Last map is absolutely fantastic. Very inspirational!

Very beautiful maps Quabbe. I'd love to see those last two you posted, the dark ones, in a higher resolution so I could get some more details from them.

Great stuff.

This is really amazing stuff Quabbe!! And... I see you live in the city all should visit at least once a year (around October 21th this year) cheers!

Those are some really amazing maps there Quabbe. I especially adore the 4th maps with a very nice colour scheme on your oceans. It seems a bit cartoon-esque but then again not really...
1 word: inspirational!

Holy shhhhhiiiiiii...that's impressive. Is that Papyrus your using in there? I love that font.

Reminds me a =tiny= bit of the British Isles. Great work - keep it up!
