TL:DR:
I’ve designed a pop-up card (11”x8.5” closed) with a functioning dice tower mechanism. There are several other pop-up elements on the card, and I would like to have the card and the pop-up bits illustrated such that the opened card functions as an encounter map.

Subject
The request is for the pieces of a pop-up card template/pattern to be illustrated so that when the card is opened, it looks like a fantasy encounter map featuring a hexagonal tower. Because the card is 3d, some of the illustration will be top down, while the 3d pieces will have to be illustrated from the sides - similar to a piece of papercraft terrain. (Like this sort of thing: http://davesgames.net/catalog-white-heart-tavern.htm )

This is the blank, unadorned, version of the card, assembled:

I am not, at this time, asking for the OUTSIDE of the card to be illustrated (i.e. what you look at when the card is closed).

Scope & Size
The card parts/template is on 5 sheets of (double sided printed) US Letter sized card. I have the templates in .PDF and .svg file formats, but can export to other types if you’d prefer.
The scale is 1in:5ft, or to suit 28mm scale figures (typical D&D scale). This is for print, so 300dpi is needed. Vector or raster - either is fine.
Looking for semi-professional quality.
Willing to pay $300-$400 depending on portfolio examples of skill. Paypal. If price is your sticking point, and you have examples of work of similar scope and their cost, please contact me, as I’ve not done this before.

Style
I’m looking for something old-school - black and white line-art (pen/ink) with either stipple shading or hatching. Fairly ‘noisy’. I’m imagining something with bold black ink use (not on the fine or ‘light’ end of the line-art spectrum).

Inspirations include:

Setting
Non-specific Medieval inspired fantasy. Tower should be at least partly stone, the surrounding area should have a temperate climate. Don’t mind what season. Could be farmland, forest, coastal, etc. Happy to entertain suggestions for less ‘generic’ elements - whether crashed airships, eldritch tentacles, long dormant mossy stone robots, or whatever. Nothing gory or non-PG, so no piles of dismembered corpses, please. :)

Time
I have no deadline for this. Because I am an impatient creature who is excited for this card, I’d like to see a first-pass or early draft by approx. 1 month after agreeing to the commission. Taking it to a finished state would hopefully be done within 2 months after that.
With this being a bit of a weird task (not every day you get asked to illustrate a popup map) I’d like to factor in some feedback loops, discussion on map contents, and iteration. If 3 months won’t work for you, please contact me anyway, as I’m entirely flexible on this. If you have a printer (and access to US Letter sized light card) to print and test your own version locally, that might be useful, but I can print prototypes myself to give us an idea of how it looks assembled.

Copyright
I’d like to be able to sell this card, either assembled or as a printable, on somewhere like Etsy in the future. That would mean selling instances of your work, as well as displaying it (or photographs of it) on a store page. So, commercial purposes rights.
(Note, it’s unlikely I’ll use these - I’m very wary of selling things online - but I want to be safe rather than sorry.)
You would retain the right to exhibit the image for your portfolio (and I’d be cool with you printing out some of the card templates for your own personal use, if you wanted.)

Contact Details
I have found it incredibly helpful to read the requests and replies of other people on the Mapmaking Requests part of the forum, so if you’re ok with it, I’d prefer replies to be on this thread. Otherwise my DMs should work here, or you can contact me at
