Map of the Universe

[arcgaden]

So - yes - I've seen Astrosynthesis, however, I do ^not have a talent for cartography. I would rather hire someone else to sit down and discuss a series of maps.

A Universe Map that presents things nicely on a piece of paper (probably will work as a two page spread), then demonstrates three dimensions in the confines of the map.

I am aware that the Universe is nice and boring at a distance, which is fine. I think something that basically mimics this 3d model: First Version of a 3D Map of Universe from the FastSound Project - YouTube
should work well to give the big view.

Then we can determine closer views of areas. This is a game setting with a number of territorial regions than cover multiple galaxies and the voids of space between them, as well as all the asteroids, et al, that might exist there, too. The idea is to get the Universe map, with the territories cursively marked (maybe a "top-down" perspective, and then a "profile-side" perspective) where the territories can be more easily visualized.

Then a map for each territory (covering multiple galaxies, nebulas, etc). And a handful of closer galaxy and system maps for areas of game setting interest.

Don't get caught up in the vastness of the scale, think of it like a world, with countries, provinces/states, counties, cities, districts, and neighborhoods.

Please shoot me an email if you're interested so I can look at your portfolio.
