Near East et Latin Levantby ~MarcosCeia

Digital Art / Drawings / Landscapes & Scenery

Well, new map! I've been trying some new techniques for the shaded relief, and I believe it went out better than I expected. Any tips?

This map took me too damn long to finish, with exams in my uni and all, so I did not have any remaining patience to add something to the subtitles. Any questions you have about the map, I'll put them on the map key

So, the idea here was somehow the Crusaders taking Egypt and Damascus on the Second Crusade. It did not stop, however, the rise of the Turk Beyliks after the collapse of the Rum Sultanate. Don't know for sure which beylik originated the Sultanate of Anatolia, but the Kdom. of Osmania is a consequence of the christianization of a certain member of the Kayı tribe, which eventually led to a Christian Turkish buffer state between the Sultanate and the Roman Empire, which collapsed some centuries later. I think that's it, I don't even remember why I started this map

Hope you like it!

its interestin but somethings wrong about this map. where did you get it?

~MarcosCeia May 24, 2009

Thanks mate! It's a work af alternate history, when we make that question: "what if..?", so some things are way off from actual history, but that's the fun

~libertado May 24, 2009

it maybe wrong something but work is really good

~MarcosCeia May 24, 2009

I'd again comment on the 'wrong', but, hey, thanks

~LiquidNerve May 15, 2009

Interesitng alternate history. The conquest of Egypt was the key to the survival of the Crusader States.

~MarcosCeia May 16, 2009

Thanks! And yes, essentially Egypt and Damascus.
