    Default Angevin Empire

    This is a map I made to get familiar with a textbook/historic kind of style. I tried to closely replicate an existing map and the process can be found here.

    As always, let me know what you think!

    Great map Daniel! I really like the "historic" feel, Good use of hatching and excellent labelling.

    Really great map Daniel and with all those details and small touches, if I didn't know better would have thought it was an historical map!

    Definitely going be looking over that process.

    Great work! I love how you've 'dirtied' the paper. It's very subtle, which makes it look so realistic (I tend to go completely overboard with my grunge!!) You really have captured the feel of an older map, so well done!

    My biggest disappointment is that poor Scotland got cut off... but I suppose I'll forgive you!

    Will rep if I can.

    I love historical maps, and this nails the look while still looking sharp and modern.

    Yeah, are you sure you aren't stealing these out of an atlas somewhere? These look entirely all pro. You totally have the look down I could totally buy this was straight out of an old book. Great work.

    This is, without a doubt, the most faithful recreation of an old-style atlas map I have ever seen. You really nailed the style. Well done, DanielHasenbos!

    This is really well done Daniel. I second what woodb3kmaster said, this is one of the best interpretations of an old style that I've seen, it's very authentic. And thanks for sharing a link to the tutorial, you really found a gem there.
