I'm looking for someone to make a decent looking map. Ideally one that would fit into the post box without stretching over the limits... Not sure that makes sense.

The map I'm looking for will feature several key features and will seem heavily George RR inspired so bare with me on this one. Ideally, I'd like it all one colour, with some detail of mountains and road and rivers.

Key Features

**A vast mountain range to the north with ONE passage travelling through to a location, or country known as Horngul.

**At the bottom of this road (passage), I'd like a castle known as Andor to be located. Not directly out of the passage but within what would be a mile or two.

**To the west would be the ocean.

**To the south I would like a desert known as the God's Waste

**I would also like, in the South Western corner, close to the sea, a Capital City known as Castermere. (See RR Martin right there...)

**I would like the map to be split up into five different regions.
#To the east I would like a river filled region called the Riverlands.
^^Here would feature a city known as Redhall, and a marking for several other small towns, each along the rivers

#To the south, boarding the God's Waste, I would like a region known as Vasrie
^^Here would feature a city by the name of Freylance, and a marking for other towns along the road.
^^I would also like to see a road leaving Freylance that would pass into the God's Waste that's called God's Road

#The region surrounding Castermere would be known as The Navel, as it would be the middle region on the map. I would like this to be a region that spans into the middle of the map, whether it is long as thin or a large oval, I do not mind. I would also like it to touch the ocean.

#To the North, the area that covers the mountains and Andor, I would like this to be known as Hiltas. A few small towns would be within this region, none as close to the mountains and Andor. I would also like all drawn roads to be heading directly to Andor.

#The final region would span the North East, this would be known as The Bay. It would connect with the sea and stretch as far along it as possible. Stopping to boarder The Middle. There would be two cities within this region, Georden and Dusklas with other small towns surrounding.

I have no opinion on what shape this country takes, although it is only boarder by the ocean on the West.


I know this is a big task but I would like more than one person to take the job, if there's only one taker then they can be my champion.

PM me or comment for questions or interest.

I'll be able to help with the outline and placement of cities. Though I can't add in decent color images/whatnot.

So I was curious as to how your world looks and I sketched up a (very poor) mock-up of what I was thinking.



And I did have one question.
IDK about this:

Do you have Facebook or an email. Haha, I have a mock .paint version which is useful, so I can send that if you'd like. It explains it a lot better

I do, but I never give it out to people I don't know personally. Perhaps you can just upload it and here?

I have no way of doing so...
The only way I can do this, is to post up on the Guild's FB site, you'll see the image and I won't know who you are, so no harm done.

Well, I'll get to work on another rough draft (but less rough than the first) and see if it meets your approval.

Looks like I'll have to scan it from work. My camera's not cooperating.

So this was the rough idea I came up with. I'm not very pleased with it, but I thought I'd get your opinion before I drove myself mad.

Or even this one I just quick sketched on my note pad (ignore the urgent. lol)

I do honestly like the top one.

Thank you for this :)
I would also suggest marking the map with your username/artist name too, then you own it forever :)

Are you sure you just don't like the top one because it's more purty looking? But what makes you happy. I'll get started on it. My weelend's filled up so it might take me a while longer. Maybe by Wednesday.

Haha, it's the downwards point that puts me off, looks better facing up.

Like I said before. Take your time

Do you have anyone else helping you on this that I can give my blank map to? At this point I haven't added anything to it other than the outline. I could add on more, but if someone else was to work on it after me it'd probably make things difficult for them.
