(WIP) Attempting to use an 18th century atlas map as a style model

[Pixie]

Thank you all for the comments and the views (been away on holidays, hence the late reply)...

Disrespect for modern rules of labelling is a choice of mine (for instance, all port cities have their names inland, whereas a modern map - or a map made by a more seafaring culture - would write them over the sea). The intention is to "craft" a particular style, merging rennaissance and late medieval. This is in order to fit with the historical period, for Kane.

A pair of grammar/spelling mistakes are also on purpose, and I will keep them. In a way it's good that people are noticing it because that's what they are there for, but on the other side I'll admit it hurts my ego everytime someone points it out I was always a too-proud-know-it-all A-student in spelling and maths when I was in primary.

All in all, this map is finished , so I'm wrapping this one up with a link for the "Finished Maps" section.

Many thanks to all who helped in any way:
- GreatWhiteNorth with the link to the awesome font used in the map.
- Freodin with his attempt to help with the coastal hatching (too difficult for my abilities, in the end I just ditched - apologies for the unfruitfulness of your effort)
- ravells with his reminder about the great resource on labeling and the extra source of inspiration with this India map
- everyone else for the encouragement and friendly advice!!
