Aurean Coast - Worldmap for private project

[Simon]

[TAKEN] - thanks everyone

Hello there

I have been working on a private project for some months now. Time to commit to the geography and upgrade my worldmap that i've been using as reference.

Reference
You can find my current map here: https://imgur.com/a/kA7lS5F. I've also added a version with notes and ideas for most of the landmarks and locations.

Style
I have a pretty good idea of the locations and geographical features I want, and would love to show those details visually on the map. What I like are maps where you can dive in over and over again and always find new places to explore. I feel like a hand-drawn map would suit that best, so nothing like that brushes-and-filter-fiesta i made in photoshop The map, while being colored, should have a grounded, slightly dark and desaturated tone / mood. Probably similar to what i've already done.

Additionally, I would love if you could add a nice border to the map, as well as some legend/title card with compass and scale. Also just fill it up with random unlabeled "points of interest" (signposts, merchant carts, bandit camps, wild grazing animals, caves, ships and snakes in the water, ...)
I can provide some more specific desription for this if necessary.

The map should be large enough to explore in detail. I'd say probably around my current size, which is 3'000 x 4'000 px.
I don't really have an idea of a budget - or time frame. Feel free to make me an offer.

Looking forward to your responses! Thanks already in advance.

Best,
Simon

Hey there I would be interested in this project with you. I have done a number of maps similar to this and I am sure we can settle in on something that fits what you are looking for style wise.

You can see more of my past work here as well as a price sheet. I do custom borders and compasses as well if you want something custom for some extra cost or can do something a bit more basic for them. Feel free to email me through the website or directly to my email ralarismaps@gmail.com and we can talk about the details or even if you just have some questions for me.

Look forward to hearing from you!
