About this service
Summary
These maps (cartography pieces) are intended for use by authors/publishers and game masters in fantastical or fantasy settings, with an art style adapted to such aesthetics specifically. They can be printed large form, used within books, or used digitally as references. Prices vary depending on the scale and complexity of each map, as well as if the map is to be used for commercial purposes.
A map can be of any kind of place—continent, country, city, or otherwise. I prefer to discuss at length inspirations and themes/motifs with the author or game master (GM) as to allow for the most authentic interpretation to be set forth. Likewise, I will ask for placements of cities and landforms, though am just as capable of full creative freedom in such an area.
Each map can also have border, title, and compass designs, as well as map keys/legends. Cities, depending on the map, can be created with small icons or sigils, and those using the map for RPG purposes can add any type of grid and scale.
All details shall be discussed via email or video conference after the down payment is made.
