Looking for help - have concept, need collaboraters

Post by JrFan88 »

Greets all;

I have had an idea or two in the past for maps I'd like to see done, but I simply don't have the skills to create a detailed, playable map. I start with big plans, but quickly get bogged down and overwhelmed by it all. What I'd like is for two or three (or more) veteran mapmakers to partner up with me to bring my concepts to life. I can come up with the basics, even some baseline artwork, but I'll need someone with more patience and talent to bring the map to full fruition.

A couple of ideas I have right now are:
Anglo-Saxon Heptarchy (8th century England)
Conquest of the Big Island (Hawai'i, about 1790-1795)
Roman Gaul (mid to late 1st Century B.C.)

Anyone interested? I'd be more than willing to exchange e-mails to outline any details you may want.

Tuesday, June 2, 2009: Well, I've had a lot of looks but no replies, so I guess I should take that as a big, resounding NO. Isn't exactly the response I thought I'd get. Wrong forum or just plain wrong? Bad idea or bad timing?

I'd be interested in Roman Gaul, but all i'd really like to do is graphics. Not to big on the decision making either, if you were willing to distill the crits and give me a list of what to do, I would be happy with that.

OK, great! I'm still trying to find a decent Illustration that I can use to define internal territories, place names, etc. PLUS we're getting set to go on vacation here next week, so if you'll bear with me, I'll get back to you on this one as soon as I can.
