    Default City of Ignotus - Sci-Fi/Fantasy Map Commission

    Project Scope
    For a while now, I've been trying to sort out a roleplay project of mine, attempting to cover everything needed to have a clear visual of what kind of world everyone will be participating in. I'm looking to get everything perfect before starting anything up, but my biggest issue so far is the city our story will be taking place in. The capital city of Ignotus. It's a coastal city that has a constant stream of ships coming in and out, delivering weapons to other countries. I picture it as an industrial cyberpunk city, with an element of fantasy added to it.

    Setting
    Not exactly on your traditional planet Earth, this is a world of science and magic, with a wide range of demi-human species who favor magic, live alongside humans, who tend to lean more towards the scientific approach. With the advancements in technology, old magical traditions are being paved to make way for a new way of living. Location is in the northeast of Abaeterno, where their capital, the dystopian City of Ignotus under harsh military rule, lies.

    Map Description
    New York City, Tokyo, Los Angeles, pretty much looks like a major city but in a cyberpunk fantasy setting. I'll post a regional map and point out where the city will lie so that you can get an idea of the land you'll be working with. There will be a river, called the Perdita River, from the top right of the city, near the harbors, traveling down through the right section of the city, leading up to the Depalo Lake, which lies to the south of the city. Major landmarks include the Castle of Abyssus, the Underworld Mine, Silva Park, Bellum Tower, Victoriam Tower, and Umbra Tower.

    - Castle of Abyssus
    The center of operations in Ignotus, it is where the presidential figure and his council reside. It lies in the center of the city atop the Underworld Mine. A fortress of black steel, and one large looming tower taller than any other skyscraper in the city. (Not sure what a sci-fi castle looks like...)

    - Underworld Mine
    I have trouble trying to visualize this in my head, but I picture large subway-like tunnels with large steel doors leading downward beneath the Castle of Abyssus. The entrance somewhere towards the front of the castle.

    - Silva Park
    A national park that still preserves what was once ancient magical traditions, and where the Perdita River leading through the city cuts straight through, ending at Depalo Lake to the south of the park. A stone bridge crosses the river in the center of said park.

    - Bellum Tower
    The west and a tad bit southern tower of Ignotus. One of the three towers in the city housing one of the three powerful figures supported by those who rule in the Castle of Abyssus.

    - Victoriam Tower
    The northern tower of Ignotus, lying slightly south of the harbors and to the left side of the Perdita River. One of the three towers in the city housing one of the three powerful figures supported by those who rule in the Castle of Abyssus.

    - Umbra Tower
    The eastern tower of Ignotus, lying to the right of the Perdita River. One of the three towers in the city housing one of the three powerful figures supported by those who rule in the Castle of Abyssus.

    Technical
    I'll probably look to add some edits to the image in the future. I'd prefer to have it in PNG form, and I'd like to avoid really bright, sunny warm colors. Like a night time view of the city. I don't really need a colorful map honestly. Just something that allows me to picture the layout of the city. Like a top down flat view? I'll provide an example below to what style I'd be absolutely fine with.

    Copyright
    I'd like to look into purchasing full copyright from the artist that takes up this job. The artist can feel free to add the work to his portfolio, however.

    Deadline
    Flexible, no need to rush. (Not sure how long it takes to do this kind of work, but preferably before the end of this year?)

    Payment
    I'd prefer under $200, but I'd like to discuss this more with whoever decides to take this project up.

    Contact
    My email is DTFGrimJudge(at)gmail(dot)com, but you'll have the best luck contacting me on Discord. My tag on Discord is GrimJudge#3078. If it isn't any hassle, I'd like tons of updates as you work. I love watching an artist's work in progress slowly become a finished masterpiece, and it leaves me with such a huge feeling of awe.

    Note: I have a picture of the world map below. When you contact me, we can discuss exactly where the city is positioned on the map. Sorry if this commission is incredibly confusing, but I look forward to speaking with you!
