Looking for someone who can hand draw or photoshop maps.

[Scottryan15]

I'm creating my own little story, and have designed a map, I would like to reproduce it as a prop map. My attempts at drawing it and editing it on the computer are a failure, anyone willing to help me. [...]

The prop map i designed is designed to be home of elves, dwarves, men and corrupted. I've been working on designing it and making and naming everything.
Will love to find someone to help!

I can hand draw it or ps it. Hand draw would look nicer though.

I want to do it on parchment paper and maybe have it done with a quill and make it looked weathered.
Maybe do both Ps and handraw it? edit it a little.
I will message you pictures once i'm done with my rough sketches.
Have you ever drawn maps before?
I want to make it look like a middle earth map.

example:

could you do something like that?

 

[dangerstudios]

yes. The edges of the water look to me like black colored pencil. I have 11x17 printing paper that I can age to look like parchment. would that work?

 

[Scottryan15]

Yes, I was thinking around 15x19 cause i have a frame for it, you could probably find parchment like that at any office store.
The thing with making homemade parchment is i've done it before a couple times and i didn't like the end result compared to parchment you can buy at a storre.

 

[dangerstudios]

Ive never seen parchment that big, and I know how to awesomely age paper to look nicer than store bought

 

[Scottryan15]

Alright thats fine, can you get 15x19. are you going to photoshop and handdraw? what are your plans for it, i will send you rough drafts shortly im finishing them now

 

[dangerstudios]

Ill probably hand draw them with a caligraphy pen. I have never seen 15x19 paper in qny form. Could i just use 11x17 ?

 

[dangerstudios]

In INDY RotLA he had an old map that was in two pieces. I ciuld do that

 

[Scottryan15]

I would rather do the one map of the whole world and then the general area of the story, i will get both to you, i guess 11x17 is fine, will the ink blur or what not once you make it "old" and parchment like?

 

[dangerstudios]

Ill age it first

 

[Scottryan15]

Okay true, i din't mean to be demanding before but. i will send you map shortly so you may begin
