    Help [taken][unpaid] I need a map for my fantasy novel

    Hi, so I'm working on writing a fantasy novel, and I figured a map would be a nice addition, so I could keep all my geography right and what-not, plus it would be nice for if I ever publish my novel (oh lord, please!) but I've discovered it's not quite as easy as I thought it would be.

    I'm really really sorry, but I'm only 16 and jobless, so I don't have a way to pay for a map, but I would definitely love you forever and ever if you would please help me, and you would get full credit for it, of course.

    I'm not working on any time limits, so just work at your leisure, between any paid work you're doing. XD

    The style I'm looking at is something like these:

    So something kind of 'antique'-y, you know? Kind of hand-drawn looking... XD

    As for the description, I do have the extremely, extremely rough version I've done, but I'm not quite happy with the layout or anything, so you will kind of have something to go on if you decide to help me, but it is very rough, and I do highly encourage you to take your own liberties with it and reconfigure it to how you think it should look. I don't really have a 'set' version in my head of how I think it should be, so anything modifications you think would work better than I have in my drafts, just suggest away--I'm sure I'll love it.

    See, the version I have contains five countries, one being an island continent, plus one or two island chains. Several rivers, a couple of lakes, a forest or two, a couple of mountain ranges, several small villages plus one capital city per country. (My drafts will be attached, if you'd like to see what I have)

    The entire 'world' I'm planning on is about earth-sized.

    I'd like it to be professional quality, but I'll definitely go for semi-professional, since I'm not able to pay and all. XD It's mainly just for the web right now, but like I said, someday I want to try to get this novel published, after I've gotten it written, so we could go for web quality right now, and if I'm actually going to publish it, I could contact you again, and you could revise it to be print quality (And if I'm going to publish it, I'll DEFINITELY be paying you then)

    You will retain the copyrights, but I'd want to have the right to use it anywhere on the web (Without profit), though I'd link back to you, with a link to your profile here or your blog or website (if you have one)


    Now like I said before, I want you to take as many liberties as you can with this, and 'prettify' it, make the land areas look cool and whatnot, because I have NO map experience, so my draft is just kind of... yeah. XD

    (The "more details" attachment details exactly what I want in each country, plus the names of the villages, countries, cities, etc.)

    Please, please, please help me out here!
