What We Want-
We are looking for an artist to draw a map of the Shards of Dalaya game world. This map will be used mainly in promotions but also may be used as our new loading screen.
The map should be hand drawn OR stylized to look hand drawn. We are looking for something reminiscent of the old cloth maps that you used to get when you purchased an MMO. A few examples of what we are looking for:
Example 1 - Credit to Verant
Example 2 - Credit to Mythic
Keep in mind we want the vibrancy to be similar to the first example.
The Contest -
If you feel you are a capable enough artist we ask that you submit a small demonstration of your work to Waldoff(AT)gmail(DOT)com. The demonstration can be as large or small as you see fit but understand that it should be some sort of fantasy map as displayed above.
On June 25th we will select one artist and contact them to complete the entire map. The map will include Faydwer, The Old World, Frostfang, Erudin and Ikisith.
The Rewards -
Everyone who submits a demonstration will receive some fame and have their work published *as long as the mapping is of SoD origin*. This means if you want to do Athicab as your small demo we will publish it even if you do not win and extend you fame for it.
The grand winner will get the title "the Cartographer" upon being selected to draw the map. After the map is completed he or she will be able to change the title to one of their choice or keep the Cartographer. Alternatively the title equivalent of 1000 fame can be substituted.
Important Note -
Shards of Dalaya will be granted the full rights to all aspects of the submission as a work-for-hire in exchange for the prize mentioned above. Portfolio rights are retained by the artist.
Good luck! This thread is open to questions.
