During the holidays I found an old map I made some years ago (at least 5, but I can't really remember) that I had made for a role-playing game. Since the game never got past the map-making step, I decided to put it to good use. I've been working on a different setting and I thought I could really make use of this map.

The original map was hand drawn and damn nearly complete. I had already named most of the towns and stuff, primary roads were on the map, and primary sailing routes were there too. I did the original coastline in Adobe Illustrator, then redid the coastline with the pentool in Photoshop. I used StarRaven's Calligraphic Map Symbols set for the whole thing (looks awesome) but I might change it for something else later.

I'd like to color it, but I'm not really good at making it look like an old map. Any good tutorials you can suggest I have a look at?
