The land of Ea

Yeah, I'm afraid Scott is right - even a small, decent looking B/W map takes easily +30 hours to make, and that is a lot of hours out of someone's week for no compensation at all. While some of us do maps just for fun, it is very different when the only person you are making the work for is yourself. You have the freedom to make all the creative choices, take all the massive several-month-long breaks you need when you are busy with other stuff, or just completely drop the project half-way if you're not feeling it. If you want someone to actually commit and put hard work into making something for you, it's more than fair to expect the artist get something for their hard work too.

If you really need a map, why not use a free map-making software such as Inkarnate? It makes decent stuff.
