Classic fantasy mapmaking request - continent, provinces and cities

[Gamerprinter]

Not to fully repeat, Tonnichiwa's point, but consider I am working on a world map right now of four continents, and I am charging more than $500 just for that, and he does need other maps, and plans to money transfer a monthly fee as an alternative to separate commissions. So the idea of 1 continent, 5 regionals and 2-5 large city maps, you would expect to pay well over $1000 for that just from me (probably closer to $2000) - most maps I do are published by someone, and nobody ever claims full rights, at best, they get full rights for a year - that's all, but still need to pay the full amount. Other cartographers may charge less than I, but I wanted you to get an idea of what a professional map is going to cost you, especially for full rights.

And I know, Evil DM, whose a good guy, just perhaps not quite in tune with reality for this.
