Fantasy Map of my Childhood Summer Camp

[TheGusStop]

Hi!

I have a bit of a unique map commission idea that I’ve wanted to do for ages now, and I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in helping me out.

Subject
I’m looking to make a fantasy-style map of the summer camp I spent so much of my childhood at. There will be 3 lakes, some forest areas, a couple of winding roads and paths and a couple dozen landmarks/regions.

I’m picturing a classic fantasy map but with certain landmarks blown up. For example, one region would have a landmark titled “Cursed Monkey Bars” and the monkey bars would be superimposed over the topography, obviously not to scale. I think this would require good map-making skills but also some more traditional drawing expertise for the landmarks.

Style
Something similar to this map from The Phantom Tollbooth appeals to me. Notice how certain landmarks are drawn in. I was hoping for a more traditional fantasy map style with slightly cartoonish landmarks drawn on top. https://i.imgur.com/xsN0DpU.jpg


Quality & Size
Professional or semi professional
Required for print
I'm flexible on size - anywhere between 18x24" and 24x36". This can be discussed.


Time Constraints
No hard deadline. I'm willing to wait several months if need be.

Copyright
I don't need copyright.

I have made a rough version of the map with Google Earth with all the locations and landmarks, and the real artist could turn that into something great. I would also include notes on what things should look like.

Does this sound like something you’d be suited for? If not, do you know of anybody who could help me with this?

Thanks so much!

I spent like, every single childhood summer at summer camp, so I would love to do this commission. I am a cartographer and a cartoonist, so I can certainly bring anything you'd like to life.
