The Norse Winterlands

[Levon Costa]

Subject:
Hello! I humbly ask for paid assistance from a cartographer in accordance to the quality of the work and attention of the worker. I'm really big on detail.
This map is a collection of other maps I've drawn. I want them combined, sketched, and have the issues worked out before we go all in with a colored and detail version.
The map is of a Northern fictional country based on viking-type society, highly reminscent of Scandinavia. View Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Denmark for reference. There's a lot of details I was not able to draw due to a lack of time and laziness, but I will allow the artist some artistic license to manifest a vision from their own mind in regards to: Rivers, lakes, fens, and small islands. You will not have permission to draw significant structure like mountains, for example. unless notifying me first. I plan to use this map as part of a considerably larger continent. It will be a world consisting of giants, dwarves, men, elves, and dragons. How original, huh?

Style:

CC3+ has a Herman Wielink style map. Well, it doesn't really matter for me as long as it looks good. Some examples might be these:

Quality and Size:
Starting off with a sketch, just do the line art, nothing crazy! BW lines, not even border drawing or country naming or castles or anything. But the end product I hope is scaled up to have all of those things with color as well as being true to my vision.

Size will have to be ridiculously large in order to apture all the small details for the coasts, lakes, and rivers. The northern winterlands of m viking-esque society live in a cold land of heaths, tundras, mountains, and fens. It's not a nice place, but it's surprisingly well-varied in its environment. Keep this in mind when transitioning from one environment to another.
Time Constraints:

For the artist, I offer no time constraints if it ensures better quality. Just be reasonable, please.

As a Cartographer I see several issues with your request.
First Your wanting something in which the Main artistic control remains with you.
Details such as how you want them combined?

[Levon Costa]

I'm not sure why that is a problem. A portion of the work, some of the biggest hurdles, have already been handled by me; to me that means drawing the lakes, rivers, and land. I've also made the names, although some may have to change, or at least re-arranged. My maps are each done on separate papers. I need them to be united onto one image. Be aware, I am willing to compromise on artistic license.

I may be interested in this, check out my portfolio and send me an email if you like something to talk more.

Well, I'm a huge fan of your map, Verda. It's very nice. I'll definitely consider your proposal. I'm giving this thread until Friday to see what results I get; I like to keep my options open. Thanks for looking, though!
