I've created my own world map, but my sketch is just a base outline of continents and cities. As far as it goes, much of the terrain, landscape, and other various features of my world are still in my head.
I know this isn't the place to ask for a map, so that's obviously not my purpose for posting here, but I am curious about pricing. As it stands, my world wouldn't be popularly used except by myself, but I would like to reuse it multiple times for multiple groups, so it needs to be fairly intact as a whole. A lot of that can develop as I go along, but I'd need a base to start. So my question basically is, how much would a world map cost? Many of the examples that seem to be out there either don't specify price, or I've seen some that say roughly $100-200. I'm sure it varies based on each designer, but I was wondering what a general price for a map would be. Is it based on the detail of the map or the artist? Or is it some other factors combined? I'm just trying to get a general feel, so that if I do want to request a map, I know that it wouldn't be out of my price range.
