<DIV>Hi, all, I have a great opportunity for someone with the time and talent to
do it.</DIV>
<DIV><BR>The artist who was doing the map for my current fantasy novel produced
such an awful product I just told my editor I'd rather do it
myself. I don't even know how to describe what was wrong with
it, it was so hideously bad. If you imagined a cartographer who had lived
a life of such debauchery and violence that he was condemned
to eternal suffering for it, this map would be hanging on the
wall of hell when he got there. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am not good at drawing such things myself, which is why we hired it
out in the first place. So my statement of "I'd rather do it myself" was kind
of, well, a bluff ;). I did ask if I could ask around for some
local artist who could handle the job, where I could have input as it
went along, and my editor said sure. So....what I need is
someone capable of drawing a BW map of the sort that usually shows up in
fantasy novels, actually a relatively simple one, in a kinda period
style. If you don't want to do the labelling, the art department will
drop words in for me afterwards. Pay is a couple of hundred dollars,
plus of course credit for it in a best selling novel :-) Not to mention my
eternal gratitude.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The one catch is, it has to be done soon. Probably this week.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Someone who has actually drawn period maps, or bits of maps,
preferred, but I'm open to those who haven't. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If you want to see what this usually entails, the site <A
href="http://www.fantasy-atlas.org">www.fantasy-atlas.org</A> has just about
every fantasy map known to makind. </DIV>
