Looking to Upgrade a map to a more Professional Quality

[KD Smith]

Hi guys!

I was told that this was the place to go if I wanted a brilliant map made! To cut a long story short, I have a map that I've designed for a group of tabletoppers that I'd like to be remade to a more professional quality as it's going in a book of lore sometime next year. So I'm hoping to commission someone to help me get it up to a new standard, the budget I have for this project is about $360 and I don't think I could really go above that.

More information on the map itself; it's a fantasy world map of an entire continent; which includes towns and cities, mountains and forests, rivers and small sections of other continents surrounding it. I'm looking for something with a little flair, so a cartographer that can really bring the map to life and give it a great feel!

Please feel free to reply with some examples of your work and a way to contact you, and if you have any questions as well, I'm happy to answer them!

Thanks for reading this far!

Hi Thomas, thanks for replying - sorry about not including that info, this is the first map I've ever commissioned and there's a bit of a learning curve. The answers to your bullet list is below:

1- I need a large resolution as there are quite a few small details on the map - this will mostly be used online, so I'll say it should fit comfortably on an A2 piece of paper - if anyone wants to give me more information about sizes I'd be happy to hear it!
2- I'm open to style, but I'd like to see something that's got a good down-to-earth fantasy style — something that wouldn't be out of place in a fantasy novel.
3- Colour would be preferred
4- So this map is going to be used in books of lore and online on websites, it's not for personal use, it'll be a key feature of a gaming group so I'd want the rights to it.
5- Deadline is pretty loose, I would like it by about Mid-September so you have plenty of time

Hope this helps
