    I wanted to try some basic, book like stuff. Not pleased, but a nice little diversion from finals.

    I'm wondering by what you're not pleased... It's an excellent map with a very nice "middle-ages" style and the cities are really good .

    Well to be honest I never could get the colors right, and gimp crashed anytime I tried to save it how I liked it.

    Also I'm finding it really hard to blend digital text and hand drawn maps. They always look like separate entities :/

    Thanks for the compliment though!

    That's a lovely map, Samstego!

    Mixing digital and hand drawn can be frustrating. There are ways to mess with layer blending and smudging crisp font edges and adding textures and such to get it to look closer if you really want - I've messed with all of that myself and am happy to share tips if you want - but I think the biggest thing is just picking a font that looks like it fits with the style of the map/picture. Your title at the top and the N for North work well for this one and I would suggest switching the rest of the info to that font as well because the info font you have now does look more digital in nature. I really like this map.
