Any demand for maps?

I am a GM that uses roll20 to play games with my friends but to further immerse the players i have produced maps of the land using drawing software's. I am an art student and was wondering if any other GM's would want to use the ones i have made or even request for ones to be made for there games. here is an example of a map i made a few weeks ago this map is quite large and took me about a week to do (with all the text on top which i have removed because i dont think people would want to use an already titled map) but small country size maps wouldn't take to long to do.

Those are pretty awesome maps.

Very nice of you to offer your services for others who may want a custom map, or to re-use the maps you already made without the text labels. I like your continent shapes and your mountains. Something that appears to be missing is the Scale. Something that appears strange or unconvincing is the rivers, because, um, well, rivers don't flow like that! (Breaking off in different directions and such; connecting both sides of a continent and such; instead the rivers will always flow only downhill, from the mountains to the sea, thus they will never stretch from 1 ocean to another ocean shore). If you'd like to learn more on how to draw rivers, I recommend to register and read specifically about rivers over on Cartographer's Guild, <a href="http://www.cartographersguild.com/forum.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.cartographersguild.com/forum.php</a> Also, if you want to offer your mapmaking services to more people, or to get expert feedback on your maps, Cartographer's Guild is also a place for that.

Oh yeh i need to put the scale in that one, thanks :P That map was the first one i made, i tried to go realistic studying maps but in the end it was so large it looked very plain and i edited the map with unrealistic rivers due to the story of the campaign it was used in. Thanks for your advice i will make the rivers more realistic in the next one i create :) I will look at the cartographer's guild to study rivers :) thanks

Sorry for that episode of the River Police, Jack. I understand your campaign had reasons for making the rivers like that. It could be perfectly functional for lots of fantasy campaigns that don't bother with geographic-hydrological realism. Ever since I learned about Rivers from the guild, now I can't help it when I see a map, my eyes look at the direction the water is flowing, and spillover-outflows from lakes. Good on you for taking the suggestion on-board. Best wishes with your cartography.

Just remember not all worlds obey earth's physics and other laws. If you wish to have the world run rivers sideways or backwards, it is acceptable since it is a game and they are fictional worlds. It is true that many gamers try to run their worlds as realistic as possible even when they have a race that can live thousand years, can throw fireballs from their hands, see in the dark better then the best cat, and have ears that would make any Vulcan envious. :D I personally like worlds I use to be strange, different, abnormal. It makes some players sit and go "hmmm. This might be a fun and interesting" usually but it could be wrong for some gamers also. To each their own.

I tend to make my own for my home campaign. It's part of the world building process at least in my opinion. Else most tend to use an existing world such as Golarion, Forgotten Realms, Hollow Earth, DarkSun, Mystera, etc.. Cartographer's guild is a great place to bang heads with other map builders too.
