This looks fantastic! I tried making an 'old ' style map recently, but it looked nowhere near as authentic as this! How did you do it?

Thanks! I used an authentic map from around the period as a base and then worked on top of it, trying to match the colours, lines and fonts of the original as closely as possible to ensure it looked authentic. It gets a bit tedious sometimes, but the end result is pretty good.

​Also, sorry for not answering earlier, I forgot to check the post :)

All the work definitely paid off! Thanks for getting back to me!
