Private messaging seems to be buggy on here for me. Please email me through the link above (envelope on the left of my messages) and I'll happily discuss rates with you.

All the best,

Jon

Hiya,

There's a minimum of posts required before your messaging gets activated; it's an anti-spam thing based on a painful porn group-message a few years ago. Anyway, I think three is the magic number, so yours should be OK now.

Best, Ron

I've added a new piece in the gallery today - a hand drawn island map intended to be printed on 11" by 17" at 300dpi. It was a different style for me and I'm very pleased with the result.

I've added new art from a recent commission for Wolfgang Baur's Wrath of  the River King to my deviantArt gallery. This was a fun commission and the project is published next week.

Thanks! There's a lot more in the works, but as always I'm willing to take on new commissions. The New Year is currently treating me really well.

A small bump to show off a recent commission piece - this is an A1 poster map for a new game that is currently in development. The image is here, and resides in my deviantArt gallery. There's a few more Wrath of the River King maps in there as well for those who are interested.

RE: Re: Jon Roberts: Freelance cartographer

I like your work and would be potentially interested to source you for the creation of a world map.

I'll send you an enquiry via email.

I believe pms have been a little buggy on here. If you find that to be the case, please get in touch a j_roberts00<delete this>@yahoo.com. I look forward to hearing from you.

For everyone else, what would a post be without some new art? I've got a new map up, a temple inside a hanging frozen waterfall with a dragon trapped beneath the floor. I hope you like it.

RE: Re: Jon Roberts: Freelance cartographer

I now have a proper website rather than just a deviantArt gallery. The website is:

www.fantasticmaps.com

This has my contact information, some free stuff, including a dungeon tiles pack, commissioning information and, of course, a gallery!

In other news, I have some pdf map booklets up at RPGNow and the other one bookshelf stores:
Click here to see the current page of items

It's also possible to buy a number of recent maps on Gamer Printshop as full scale laminated battlemaps. That can be found here:
Click here for the current maps available in laminated battlemaps

If you are interested in getting me to create maps, bear in mind that I can also get your maps to appear in these other areas. This increases your visibility (my maps have made the front page of enworld for the last few weeks) and offer new ways of generating revenue.
