I am open for commissions, what did you have in mind?

Well, I've never petitioned anyone for a commission before, so I honestly have no idea what one costs. I don't want to low ball you and accidentally insult you, but neither do I want to over pay. I want a very large, high quality map of my D&D world done that I can mount in a double matted frame on my wall. I'm thinking something that has the look of old world parchment with extensive detail, and the vivid colors I saw in your other maps that I commented on. Something about 5 feet long, and 3 feet tall. How about you give me an e-mail address and I will send you all the descriptions I have for a preliminary sketch?

Heya,

Honestly, that is a HUGE map! That would be the largest map i ever worked on and from thos size dimensions, it would cost around 1600$, and thats cheap. I could do a smaller map at a higher dpi that can be blown up to that large, say 3feet long and foot and a half tall(just an example). That would run about 600-800$. Hit me back...

There's a big difference between $600 and $800. What's included at various prices? I am wanting to make payments, as this would be a long term project. I do not yet have everything that I would want on it. I'm thinking this could be done over the course of about a year, so there is no hurry. I am very particular about detail, so I would want to send you a lot of info. to examine prior to you working on a preliminary sketch. Also, I would like you to show me a sketch before you begin major work. I do not want this to go over $1,000 (shipping included).

Well detail basically, and man hours, if you have very specific minutia that you want me to include on the map, that takes more time(and therefore more money). Also i work primarily digitally so it will be up to you to print out what i have sent you, which could be done fairly easily at a large format printing place. Specific little cities and building will cost extra of course. SHowing you a sketch before hand is standard, though i'm not sure how detailed you want to get and what color palette/style you would want me to execute to do the map.
