    Default Not sure of the compass rose colors

    Done with the bottom right corner - placed a compass rose and scale bar. I played around with different color combinations, but this the best I could come up with. Any better color ideas for a rose?

    Next to do the inset regional then I'll be done.

    fantastic - really like the small details, the riverbank, snow on the roof and so forth. Agree with Steel General about the stroke on the compass - and the red/orange gate looks a little crooked (but perhaps thats on purpose?) - great map

    I was pondering compasses earlier today and what a good compass would look like for this project. The one you created is very interesting and attractive, but it has a heavy Roman feel to it. It may be historically authentic--I don't know--but it doesn't feel Oriental.

    Sadly it's not easy to find pictures of historical Japanese compasses. A Chinese compass would be a readily available model, but might not be accurate, nor make for a particularly pretty symbol
