This might not be the appropriate thread, but am I wrong to assume that most in the guild only do work they are paid for?
Or is it mostly city/battlegrid type maps that you are interested in doing? I've yet to receive a single offer/inquiry for drawing my world maps for my novel, which led me to speculate that the norm might be commissioning it.
I mean no disrespect with this question, but I am merely curious, as I'm very, very new to the world of artists
While I would suspect that the (few) professionals here will only work for a commission, many of the hobbyists are not confident enough of themselves to commit to something as enthusiastic as a map for a novel. Or they are too busy
I would suggest pm'ing a few authors who have posted maps you specifically like, and make a more personal request, if the general one is not getting interest.

I'd like to thank Jaerdaph for the plug. I've been a long time fan of the site, and lurker, but, my artistic talents are ... negli... negil...neglig... just damn bad.
If anyone is interested, I'd love to see some battle scale maps of a jungle beach.
Would something like this work?
