Marburg - Easing Back Into Things

[Samstego]

I thought I'd get back into map making after a bit of a hectic summer and start of the semester, so I thought I'd do a simple colour test / recreation to get back into practice. Here is Braun and Hogenberg's MarburgBraun_Marburg_UBHD.jpg
which I used as a reference for mine:

The colours never come through how you want them when scanning, but I guess I'll have to live with that.
Hopefully I can get to some original stuff soon, but I am enjoying markers as opposed to digital colouring.

Good job, Sam. You captured something very authentic here

Impressive job ! With a little bit of weathering, it coulb pass for an original !

Thanks! Short of actually engraving and printing and colouring and the headache involved there, I think this is the next best way.

Hah, thanks! Maybe I'll leave it out in a storm or something

Ooh! I like how it's an obvious study, but you also made it your own by not straight-up copying the original.

Maybe I can help with that. Can you describe how you would want it to look? And which software you would use for colour correction?

That's a great take on the original. I like having maps of this style to show players to give them a feel for what their environment is.

Fantastic map! I have such a fondness for antique maps and this is a great homage to them.

Fantastic work indeed! As Beee said, very authentic.
