Homebrew Fantasy World and City Map as GM gift
Hello!
First time commissioner, so apologies if I mess anything up or request ridiculous things.
Our group just finished a 5 year homebrew D&D campaign and would like commission a map as a thank you present for our gamemaster. The goal would be have it of sufficient resolution to be printed out and put up on the wall in a poster-like framed display.
Map details:
- main country from the campaign with detailed inset of the capital city, which is largely Norse in pantheon and history.
- we have a basic hex-based map of the world (below) which includes major cities as well. we can provide approximate distance estimates between the capital city and other ones
- we have a neighborhood level sketch of the capital city (below) as well as descriptions for each neighborhood
- for the city inset, we would like to have specific important buildings labeled (probably with numbers) and a legend off to the side.
- since our gamemaster's partner is also in on the surprise, we have access to most of the GM's campaign resources, so we can probably answer almost any question someone would ask about a region or city. Many of the regions have a historical basis (ex: elvish nation is victorian england, goblin nation is based on the aztecs, etc)
- we've figured out which styles of maps our gamemaster likes and have included examples below as well
Our goal in this is to find an artist that's willing to work with our group to add in lots of little details from the campaign, including city/country crests, trade routes, or sections of the country that are supposed to be different faction territories. We can definitely provide descriptions for all of these and files (I believe our GM uses photoshop) for the major crests. Some things will be more set (country shape, city locations) than others (faction region borders, locations of minor cities). We understand that this may feel creatively stifling to some artists and we respect that if it's not your cup of tea. However, our GM adores mapmaking and has longed after the professional fantasy maps in books or at cons, we'd like to thank them by elevating their vision to a professional level.
If you're interested in working with us on this present, please reach out. Info and examples included below. Comments, questions, etc welcome.
