    Map Blaeu Style Test

    This is my latest attempt to create a map that comes close to Jan Blaeu's style.
    I made a more traditional and a coloured version.

    Done in PS.

    Really nice work Sap.
    I can appreciate the traditional styled one but the color one speaks to me more.

    Very nice! I'd like to see a version between the two versions - a faint colouring as if bleak watercolour.

    Beautiful work again! Like the color version as well. Thanks also for the HISTORY LESSON, I've looked up Jan Blaeu , hadn't heard of him before. Thanks

    Indeed, very beautiful maps Sapiento! I really like both styles in their own way.

    Nice map, Sapiento. I especially like the color version.
    While i was never a big fan of that Blaeu-mountain-style in general, i think you found a good version and it matches the rest of the map well. So thumbs up from me.

    Great work, Sap. Did you drop a word on the left island? I see 'United' but nothing else. And 'Commonwealth' on the right island, actually, too.

    Thank you, Diamond!
    That's the United Commonwealth!
