    Default Looking to Upgrade a map to a more Professional Quality

    Hi guys!

    I was told that this was the place to go if I wanted a brilliant map made! To cut a long story short, I have a map that I've designed for a group of tabletoppers that I'd like to be remade to a more professional quality as it's going in a book of lore sometime next year. So I'm hoping to commission someone to help me get it up to a new standard, the budget I have for this project is about $360 and I don't think I could really go above that.

    More information on the map itself; it's a fantasy world map of an entire continent; which includes towns and cities, mountains and forests, rivers and small sections of other continents surrounding it. I'm looking for something with a little flair, so a cartographer that can really bring the map to life and give it a great feel!

    Please feel free to reply with some examples of your work and a way to contact you, and if you have any questions as well, I'm happy to answer them!

    Thanks for reading this far!

    Hi Ralaris! Thanks for replying to the post, but unfortunately whenever I click on your website it doesn't lead anywhere? It just say 'Page not Found'?

    Hi Thomas, thanks for replying - sorry about not including that info, this is the first map I've ever commissioned and there's a bit of a learning curve. The answers to your bullet list is below:

    1- I need a large resolution as there are quite a few small details on the map - this will mostly be used online, so I'll say it should fit comfortably on an A2 piece of paper - if anyone wants to give me more information about sizes I'd be happy to hear it!
    2- I'm open to style, but I'd like to see something that's got a good down-to-earth fantasy style — something that wouldn't be out of place in a fantasy novel.
    3- Colour would be preferred
    4- So this map is going to be used in books of lore and online on websites, it's not for personal use, it'll be a key feature of a gaming group so I'd want the rights to it.
    5- Deadline is pretty loose, I would like it by about Mid-September so you have plenty of time

    Hope this helps
