Hello all,
My name is Nicholas Trask, and I am the author of Whispers of Darkness (Book 1 of the Divine Order series). What I am looking for is to commission a cartographer to recreate the current maps I already have, and also add two kingdoms to them. The issue I have with the current maps is they were created in a landscape format, and I need them in portrait format. Also, the maps have a copyrighted font that needs to be changed.
There are two continents in this earth size world (only two known to man). What I would like is to turn the four different maps I have into two different portrait size maps. There are six kingdoms, and currently what I have is a map created for each kingdom, which I have had to split in two in order to print them in the book. The end result I would like is to be able to have two kingdoms on one single page, instead of one kingdom across two pages. (I hope this makes sense). I understand that doing this will make the font really small, and that is fine. As long as I can have the maps on one page. The page sizes for the book are 6"x9", A5, and 4.25"x6.88".
I currently have four maps professionally rendered, I wouldn't care if you had to change the style, but I would like the same kind of theme. As I said before, I only have 4 out of the 6 rendered, so I would need the third page (two kingdoms) made from scratch. I do have rough sketches of them available. I can also provide the jpeg files of all the other kingdoms as well.
I am willing to pay, and if you PM me we can discuss payment arrangements. I prefer to use PayPal.
There is no current timeframe for this, as I am still writing the second book. Which I would need the new map made for. I would like to have copyright of them as well. Although the artist can use them for whatever purpose they seem fit, like a portfolio etc...
Thank you for any assistance with this.
Respectfully,
Nicholas Trask
