Black Point Beach [commission]

[J.Edward]

This map was produced back in early 2017 for a client who ultimately didn't pay for it.
One interesting thing about it is how quickly it was done.
I had already done some tight deadline work for this client before.
And this one had the same deadline - 1 day. It was thrilling to take that challenge and succeed.

Needless to say I was not thrilled with their lack of payment.
This was to be for a second music festival in the Bahamas.
But it turned out that the first one, which I did the maps for, was a disaster.
A tid bit -some may have heard of this failed music festival - the Fyre Festival.
I think the massive failure of the first one [that I was paid for] is why the client never paid me for the second one.
The first commission was crazy - 4 maps in 1 day. C r a z y !!! But I did manage it.
The rush fee was more than the map fee. hehe. Most I have ever made in a day.
Life is funny and strange sometimes. Always cover your butt.
Even if you have already worked with someone before.
Cheers, J

It's a pity you wasn't paid...

Well... congratulations anyway !

Thanks JO
Yeah, from what I read later, it seems like it was for people with a good amount of money to waste.
Tickets were really expensive. Somewhere I have an article about it.
They promised to have all sorts of things at the festival and almost none of it was there.
In fairness, the company I did the work for was a media company, not the people doing the festival.

Thanks Adfor
I try to switch things up every so often.
The map they referenced was the Islands of Paloket.

That's really cool. Very good for such fast work.

I looked up the festival and apparently the organizers are getting their pants sued off now, so if that's any consolation....

[Azélor]

I think I've hear about that company, somewhere.
It's a sad story but it's unbelievable you could map it that fast

[Voolf]

Again, awesome map. And the fact that you did 4 in a day? That convince me even more that you are not human haha.

Superb, and colors are amazing. It's just incredible you made it that quickly !
A shame for the client, but the good part is you keep the rights to use the map as you want

You did this in one day? Did you find a way to clone yourself or is it a magic ritual of some sort?
This is splendid . And now I would like to be in holidays...

I'm not surprised. From what I read, it was a terrible situation.
And they all paid so much for it.

Hehe, yeah, it was crazy.

Hehe, I have always liked robots and thinking machines. ;P
But I like people too.

Thank you Beee
I'm nit sure what I'd do with such a location specific map, but someone did suggest it would be a nice game map without the cruise ship and helicopter.

I actually did 4 maps in a day for the first festival. This one was for what was going to be the second festival.
I'm not sure if I can show the other 4 maps, as I had to sign an NDA for that project.
But they are similar, though a bit less involved. I was pretty surprised when i pulled off the first 4 maps.
I need a holiday.
