The Human and Tenaali Realms

[Sapiento]

Exzellent! Großartig!

From where did you get the ship and animal symbols on the map? CC3? Or taken from an original map?

Lovely map, well done.

The only thing that niggles me is how some of your city icons stick out into the sea - those on the coast of Shin Tenaal for instance.

Also your bitmap parchment background is very blurred but that's no biggy.

Apart from those two things I think it's great.

Thanks for the comments, everyone.

Yes, that kind of bothered me, too. I reasoned that the town's actual location would be the circle with dot. Buildings stretching into the sea would represent harbors.

Actually, I like it that way.

Sapiento, the ornament animals, and the cartouches come from various period maps. If you find a good scan online they're pretty easy to clean up and adjust their colours to match the map. The map itself and the coats of arms come from CC. Adding the map border, coats, ornaments and cartouches to the map as well as the parchment texture were done in PSP.

I have to admit I'm not a super artist but I can work the image editing software a bit.
