Update (7/9/2010): Robert Altbauer (aka Sapiento) is our “chosen one” for this project. We would like to thank the close to 20 talented cartographers and artists that responded to our posting. Thank you!
We here at Dolmen Creative are looking for a fantastic cartoartist (cartographer/artist). Not just any cartoartist, but the best of the best of the best. The “chosen one” must possess all of the following qualifications:
- HUGE sense of humor
- ability to follow direction
- must be a communicator
- talent, talent, talent (seasoned vet, absolute n00b, or anything in between is ok)
The Job: help us create our dark fantasy world map
Time Constraints: the final final must be complete before October 1, 2010
Style: we like the hand-drawn style maps of Forgotten Realms and the old Warhammer Fantasy RPG
The Map: this map will be a world map of 2 arctic poles, 5 oceans, 4 continents, a large number of archipelagos, and a special “twist” that only the artist we hire will know about
Quality/Size: full color that also works well for greyscale, will be used in website, PDF, and print medias – 3,000pxl x 4,800pxl (10×16 in) – 300dpi RGB png
Copyright: we will have the right to use the image for commercial purposes, but you will have the right to exhibit the map as part of your portfolio (not for profit or resale)
Payment: by PayPal within 30 days of verified completion
How Much? That’s all depending on the artist. We are happy to discuss rates with our artists. Please email us at info@dolmen-studios.com with the subject: World Map Cartoartist (this will help it get past the spam filter) with the following information:
- your name
- rate information
- links to at least 2 samples of the style we are looking for
