    Help Need help about improving a world real-like map

    Hi all! Best artists are here!
    I need an help about making better a huge 2d real-like world map started by me for a campaign on my favourite RTS game.
    It's sample and without terrain decorations (only zone names). I need map details comparing it to satellite views.
    Eliomap derives from an equivalent cylindrical map of Lambert; Europe and America are nearer than reality, Europe 10 % bigger than real size.
    The software is Adobe Photoshop CS considering 8 big parts as *.psd files (resolution is 72 dpi) and their shadings.
    Text font till now is Bookman Old Style (capslock, bold, 18pt).

    Please contact me at eliovasa@hotmail.com if you're interested.
    Cost can be managed privately.

    It seems there are more artists fond of software maps here instead of handmade maps.

    There are several people here who do handmade maps, including one I know of who sells maps and mails the original too, but your pitch definitely makes it sound like you want a digital map. Usually people who want a handmade map would refer to it in inches rather than pixels. Do you want a handmade traditional art map?

    Contact me: calthyechild@gmail.com or _ti_ (Discord) to discuss a map!
