City of Erbsburg

[vorropohaiah]

that's a lovely example of a handdrawn map - especially the header and typography. nicely done.

@ Schwarzkreuz and voropohaiah:
I watched Harry Potter III some days ago and was inspired by the calligraphy in the end titles.
So the banner was made in the style of the invisible map of the school.

@jbgibson:
the fraktur letters are really not the best, I have to admit. Every master scribe would let me write that again - 10 times. But I liked the chaotic style because it is for a medieval fantasy game. And the city isn't very great. So I didn't even draw base lines.
Meanwhile I write long enough to avoid blotches, but in the case of this map I wrote the typo completely off the map and inserted it with photoshop.
And: yes, you're right. The elves have some living hedges to protect their part of the city.

btw: the signature (TM) is a hint to the Erbsburger cartographer Thomasus Mormann. He lives in a little house near the south gate, where he is selling his maps. My next project could be his map of Deutschen.
