Looking for collaborators (poss. paid)

Looking for map collaborators; underground and outdoors

This will involve creating the floor plan and under-levels of a very old, sprawling temple complex now in a desert. You will have complete artistic freedom to create this; I much prefer looking at a blank map and creating what is on it to trying to think them up cold. I’m also a lot better at doing it that way.

Sprawling = 1 level with 30 or more keyed areas or 2 levels with about 20?

[Zanazaz]

Well, I could start right away, but like others I would need to know how many rooms and levels you would want.

So just let me know. I have plenty of free time right now. In fact depending on what you want I could be done in a couple of days. All depends on the level of detail you want, and complexity.

Here's a sample of what I can do...

I've sent an email.

Ah, I can't help you. The whole reason I got into RPG mapping was there seemed to be two kinds of maps found in most RPGs - old school (yech) and photorealistic like in video games, and neither extremes suit my taste. My level of hand-drawn and decked out color with implied 3D bevels and shading, is about the level I like, that's why I make 'em.

Your project does look interesting - if you're ever interested in the step between the two kinds of maps I describe, then contact me, I might be interested.

I am most interested in any new approach to maps. I'd love to see one.

OK, here are a couple of examples of my particular style of mapping (follow the links to the threads with these maps). One thing to note, while they look like time-consuming projects, ask anyone here and you'll discover that I am a rocket at creating such maps very quickly. Most take me only a couple days, when I have them to spare.

This first map is from Feb '10 Challenge for the One Page Dungeon Contest - its a dungeon map for a Necromancer's Lair.

This second map is a village map, I did as a small commission project.

This last one is the courtyard of a tavern located over a thieves guild.

I have to mention that I am now working on a monthly product publication and my schedule is rather full, however, because most maps take me 1-3 days to create, I can fit them in probably two a month and still get my other work done as needed.

I appreciate old school maps for their nostalgia, but because I am an artist, I can't see myself ever creating one, but that's just me.

Can we consider this request taken now, so we can edit the thread title?

I think so.
