A map for a pen and paper RPG in progress : looking for help or benefit

[viandor]

Hi,

I'm french, so please excuse my english mistakes.
I'm actually writing a pen and paper tabletop RPG called "chien de guerre" (dogs of war in english). It's a Dark Fantasy game where players incarnate mercenaries.
The main inspiration is the book "the black company" by Glen Cook.

I would like to draw a world map, but i'm totally unskilled, so i'm looking for a proficient cartographer.
I tried to hire MistyBeee but she wasn't available.

Could anyone here help me ?

Thanks you very much,
Alexandre alias Viandor

Hi Viandor,

Your English is very good and definitely a lot better than my French!

This sounds interesting and I might be able to help out. You can check out some of my work here. And if you're interested can contact me on there or at gshipp [at] lostinmaps.co.uk

Some things to think about if you are commissioning someone would be the size you need, if you have a deadline, colour/sepia/B&W, copyright etc.

Thanks,
Greg

Je pourrais bien être intéressé parton projet mais dans un premier temps, la question qui se pose est "mes cartes sont-elles à ton goût ?". Tu peux en juger ici et si ça te plait, tu peux me contacter à l'adresse suivante : thomrey@hotmail.com

Hi Greg,

Thanks for your reply ! I read english very well, by writing is really harder :-)
I've done my personal presentation here : https://www.cartographersguild.com/s...ad.php?t=46779

For commissioning purpose :
- Size : i don't know, either A4 (single page) or A3 (double page)
- Color : black & white, the book won't include color
- Deadline : none, it's not urgent
- Theme : it's basically an european map, fantastic/medieval, the goal is to give players an easy environment to take in control, but a setting different enough to seem "imaginary"

I draw a global shape with nations names. I would like something less "european obvious".
It's here, don't laught please ! ;-)

Hello, Viandor. I would be available for this commission, though, I do not speak French so you might want to consider one of the French-speaking artists here! There are several. Your english reads fine to me though, so it would not be a problem!

My custom fantasy maps. Let me know if you'd like to talk further.

That all sounds good and I'm sure many artists here will be interested in the project. Having a sketch to work from is always a great help and what you've got there is perfect as a base!

Generally artists don't really talk about prices and other details on the forums here, but as a rough price guideline, you're probably looking at anywhere from €75- €250 depending on whether A4 or A3 and who you ask. My price would fall well within those extremes and if that suits you, then as I said above, you can contact me at: gshipp@lostinmaps.co.uk where we can discuss more

Hope to hear from you,
Greg
