Fort Bourtange - Roof Level and Dutch Version
🕑 Added 2021-11-10 20:04:45 +0000 UTCHere's the roof level, which is the last part of Fort Bourtange. I also made something else: an annotated version in Dutch, which I'm giving out to everyone.
I'm aware that everyone in the Netherlands under the age of 105 speaks perfect English along with 50 other languages, so I know you probably don't need this, but I still thought it'd be nice to do. Plus, the English version comes from a Dutch tour map I translated, so I figured I could just not translate it and make a Dutch version that way. There are a couple things I had to use Google for, so I can't promise it's perfect, but let me know if anything is wrong or just super weird and I'll fix it.
Anyway, the next map will be a demonologist's lair, Remember A Dark Place? I'm gonna try to make someplace freakier than that. It's not Hell, but it's the home of... well, a big fan of Hell. A Hell stan, if you will. Hopefully I can come up with something uniquely terrible.
I've also got the next historical map picked out, which I'll be doing sometime in the next few 2-3 months. This time, I'll be drawing a place in Britain-- or, more specifically, Scotland. There are some incredible places in Scotland, like Stirling Castle, the Wallace Monument, and about half the buildings in Edinburgh. Instead of drawing any of that stuff, I'm going to draw Coxton Tower. It's a towerhouse in Moray and I think it'd make a great map. It's not huge, complicated or flashy, but it's interesting. It's got some unique character, both inside and outside, and it's the kind of place everyone can find a use for.
I don't know exactly when I'll start on it, but I definitely want to put some work in on the Black Loch first. That's Scottish, too. Well, a little. I mean, it's not the Black Lake. Anyway, I'm gonna go sketch out some freaky demon stuff. If you've got any thoughts on any of this, let me know!

Tower houses are pretty cool and toy find them all over Scotland and Ireland. There were hundreds just in the Borders in the 16th century.

I actually discovered it when you proposed a peel tower to the Cartographic Congress a while back. I ended up looking through a list of Scottish castles and this one stood out, so I decided to make it the next historical map.

I'm super excited to see Coxton Tower. I've been hoping for a Scottish tower house for awhile.
