    Default Marburg - Easing Back Into Things

    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.

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

    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.
