Browser Game World Map
._. accidentally posted in archives first... dohl!
Heya, so my friend and I are currently working on a browser game (currently nearing beta stage, found at almasytactics.com). One of the things I'm speccing out right now is a "Risk"-esque Clan vs Clan feature: I can design game mechanics but my imagination for lore or map-making is downright horrid. I need someone that can help me design and draw a world map. I'll work with you (I promise I'm not a client from hell) by giving feedback whenever you need and making dumb mockups.
Commission: I actually have no clue what a fair price is. $75+? Negotiable, definitely, haha.
Time Constraints: No real time constraints at the moment because my friend (the programmer) is currently working on other features. Maybe a month?
Style:
I'd like a semi-cartoony style to match our character art. Examples of character art:
An example of the style I have in mind: http://www.cartographersguild.com/sh...-Fantasy-World
Another example of the "cartoony but serious" feel, as well as the size:
Link to full size (careful, it's big)
Some more examples, taken from Dino-RPG. When the map is done I'd like to add in some lines on another layer so people can see where the attack routes are.
Description of Map:
Although I don't have a set idea on how the map should look, I have some features I would like the map to have.
- Lots of different types of geography (refer to the Ascadia and Northrend maps)
- Should have attack routes or some way so the player can see exactly where he can move.
- Map should have some landmarks: Lairs, where boss monsters spawn. Village/Cities/Sanctuaries, where people can spawn from and is a "no-kill zone". Fabled Cities or some other things, where players can get special equipment. Maybe some other features, but for now that's it.
Quality & Size
We'll be using this for an online game, so it needs to look moderately good. If the quality is similar to any of the example maps I linked to this post, I'd be satisfied.
I touched on size in the "Style" Section (Northrend map). It'll be pretty big.

If interested, I can answer more questions about the game or whatever else.
Thanks!

Not quite sure if this is a style your looking for or not, but check out my two works in process(which I really will finish at some point):
the first is a regional map(which I am quite proud of, even if it's not finished) http://www.cartographersguild.com/sh...on-of-Baldimar
and
http://www.cartographersguild.com/sh...-other-locales
Just go to the last part of posts to see some of the last work I have done on either of this. Not cartoony, but I figured I would throw it out there just in case.
