SUBJECT:
Greetings
I am looking for a Sword & Sorcery / Fantasy Overworld map that will depict the game world of a Web Game i am developing at the moment.
The game is basically an tribute to a rather old game i played a lot in the past ( legend of the green dragon ) together with some Tabletop / cardgame / Jrpg hints in it.
That being said, one can create own worlds with own assets, rules and what not. So it is a world editor as well, allowing admins to enhance the provided base game or
completely ditch all the assets and create their own completely, along with their assets ( being a web based game, this basically means that admins can have their own CSS files as well as graphics ).
For the base game ( basically the game that comes with the download of the files ) , i need an overworld map, and this is why i landed on the cartographers guild.
Last but not Least, just like Legend Of The Green Dragon , i intend to make it available as a public domain project to the community.
The World map should depict one Region surrounded by 4 Kingdoms , each with distinct features / theme.
Every Kingdom has a City and a couple of structures and the central region has a citadel in it ( surrounded by a forest )
STYLE
The graphical style of the map ( as well as its scale ) should go in the direction of this little Gem here :

It may be Black and White only ( color would be nice thou ) and it should not have any region names on it, as certain details such as scrolls,
GUI elements and more will be added dynamically by the engine or manually with Photoshop.
QUALITY & SIZE
I am looking for a professional / semi professional result.
The Map should be of a resolution of around 3500 by 3500 px and it is solely for the Web medium.
TIME CONSTRAINTS
The project is ongoing , and i can only work on it in my free hours. The engine is written, but there is a lot of game code to go, so this is not a super stressy deadline here.
Since the engine is done, i feel more motivated to start using game assets while i progress and that way i get a feeling for it in a better way.
COPYRIGHT
This is the tricky part, i dont intend to claim the work for myself, have absolutely no issues with writing attributions or putting the name of people who help me out in the credits and i am a pretty relaxed person on that matter. This is a project born out of love for BBS Door games, Classic JRPGs and Fantasy Tabletop Games. I am a code monkey during the day and this is the project i put my nights in, because ... writing applications at work is boring as f#%k, so it would be a waste not to make something really cool :-D
That being said, i need to be fully assured that the Map can be distributed with the project ( since it is part of the assets of the base game ) without getting into any issues. I dont mind if it is used elsewhere and am willing to pay some bucks for it, if needed. ( negotiable )
