First Finished Map - 1500's parchment style test 1

[Ascension]

Actually, I think the colors work pretty well for the time period you have chosen. If you want to change them I'd make the country outlines darker to fit this time period. Lighter colors look nice but (I think) that's more 1600s...minor quibble but either way, shrug. I'll look it up for sure as I have a calendar of old maps. Really sweet hand work there, being lettered and painted like that...very nice. I'll see if I can crop and correct for you later this evening - I have my fantasy football playoff draft tonight so it should be around 9ish central time unless someone beats me to it.

Ok, this was the best I can do. A lil bit of warping due to the curled paper (noticeable on the scale bar), chopped off a few pixels on the bottom and right (less than 20, though, so the map is still intact). I'm no pro at manipulating photos but it looks pretty good.
