April 2020 Challenge: Once upon a time in the Guild

[Marc Moureau]

A promising map.

You did a very good job at recreating the visuals from the XIXth century.

You did a very good job at recreating the visuals from the XIXth century.

As Marc said, definitly great styling, which fits very good.

It is absolutely gorgeous. The details and intricacy of it all blows my mind! The colors are very well chosen too, and the legends and captions give a very credible and professional look. What software do you use to process the elevation?
The sides maybe look a tad blank, but that's just a detail!
Anyway, probably my favorite map of the challenge so far

Thanks Gadiouka. For the elevation, I made it under Gimp by hand, I fill them with a blank coloration at increase oppacity and finaly using a gauss blur and mapping tool. The blank are filled !

Thanks both. I try to mimic as much as possible this XIX style.

Here is the final update, and I think I'm done.

Very cool style and an extremely attractive layout! The elevations look maybe just a tiny bit too busy for my taste in some places (I would've maybe gone with a bit more subtle lining?) but overall the look is really solid. Awesome stuff.

Thanks Kellerica.
You're right about the linewidth I choose for this Map. But for a one month challenge, I must work quicker than i use to do. There is some modification i want to do with this style of Map that need some constraints : smaller geographic size or much more time. If I want to modulate the size of the stroke to account for the slope, as on some type of map, the working time is likely to be phenomenal.

This is excellent! I like the cast of characters as well, very nice touch.
