British Isles Map Trio #1: King Arthur's England
My entry for the September 2018 challenge, “map an ideal place" (although I made a few tweaks since then). Camelot - hand drawn in Photoshop on a Wacom Intuos tablet. I drew the buildings from real buildings: Château de Pierrefonds (located northeast of Paris and which I've always thought looks like Camelot) and Mátyás-templom (Matthias Church) in Budapest, which has a much, much cooler roof in real life (really, go Google it). Clockwise from top left, the shields are the coats of arms of Galahad, Lancelot, Percival, Arthur, and Gawain. I decided to use the Round Table itself for a compass. The font is Enchanted Land.
I based the shires on a historical map of 10th Century England; again, apologies to anyone from the UK if I messed it up!
This turned out to be the first of a trio of British Isles maps.

It really does feel great to have the trio all finished, although I enjoyed the process so much that I'm a little bummed that it's done.Originally Posted by Gidde

Nice work ! Three different map, but similar enough to appear as a serie... You did a fine job on the choice of style and the adaptation of it !
Heh - your a brave man to pin down the location of Camelot ! Its most definitely at Glastonbury... or Tintagel... or Camelford... or Queen Camel... or Cumbria... or North Wales... or...
Thank you, -JO-! And thanks for the rep, it's much appreciated!
I went with Winchester, based on Le Morte d'Arthur, and also because Winchester Castle has the huge round table display from the ~ 1300s. I realize that historically, Camelot was probably somewhere in Wales in the 400s or 500s CE, if it existed at all. But Hollywood is all about the high middle ages for Arthurian legends so I decided that was good enough for me.
Splendid
