Thread: Continent map and regional map for D&D (Personal)

    Default Continent map and regional map for D&D (Personal)

    Hello Cartographers,

    I'm looking for a cartographer to draw a black and white high fantasy hex map. Something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fwkfo97P1Cs&t=572s
    Will be solely used for my D&D game. 1 continent map along with 4 regional map. Regional map around 24miles per hex. The continent map a zoomed out version of the 4 regional map.
    I have in mind a few general location for landmarks and city for the map. The rest of the stuff eg. forest, hill, rivers. i leave it up to your expertise!
    My budget is $50USD. Im not really sure if this is enough. Maybe we can discuss the price and other finer details.

    I can be contacted at bulaien.c@gmail(dot)com

    I'm sorry to say this, but 50 bucks is pretty darn low for even one map, let alone several (if I understood you correctly and that is your budget for the whole project). Even for a B/W map, that could easily fetch a price tag of a two, three hundred and more, depending on the artist. A map like that, for me at least, would be easily a 20-40 hour job, and I'm sure you can figure what kind of an hourly rate that would amount to with your stated budget.

    I completely understand that for a personal game you run for your friends, you most likely don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on a map, but unfortunately the intended use doesn't make the map any less time-consuming for the artist to make. Most people who do commission work here are pros, working at this either part or even full time, and they need to be charging as such.

    I'd maybe look into free maps found around the web, or check out Inkarnate or Wonderdraft, Other World Mapper or suchlike to see if you could make your own.

    Five maps? Your budget is missing at least a zero, mate...
