Lately, i have been thinking a lot about the creation of non-OGF maps of OGF countires, continents etc…
So i thought, to practice my Inkscape mapping even more, i thought i would offer anyone who is having trouble creating general maps the opportunity to let me experiment and see what turns out best.
If you are willing to have me make a map of your country, please notify me below.

Sounds interesting, are you talking about sketching out the landscape?
Comment from Litvania on 2 December 2016 at 17:47
@PColumbus73 Not really, though as well. I mean a general hang-on-wall style map.
Here is an unfinished example:

@Litvania: I’m interested in seeing that unfinished example, but it’s not loading for me.

^ Right-click on it and “show image” or something similar ;) .

That’s very nice, Michal, your physical map is amzing! I’s love to have a political map of Neo Delta! http://opengeofiction.net/#map=7/-55.588/136.450

this is AMAZING.
I would love to have something like this done for Drabantia, but my country is a work in progress with barely any progress made yet.

Nice map, although it’s kind of strange how so many of the mountains end just before they reach the borders. It would be great if some of the neighbors were willing to share a mountain or two.

Oh, I am more than willing to share a mountain (or two, or three, or any natural number.) I actually imagined my border with Litvania much like the Bohemia-Moravian highlands, but I’ll settle with whatever Michal wants to have.

@isleño I know, however i wasnt sure what @eklas was going for, that is why it is unfinished.
@eklas That is what the Eastern Litvanian Highlands are! Ill create a wiki pate on that soon.

It is definitely recommended to contact all your neighbors and work with them on questions like this. Especially with a small country, mapping will be much more realistic when there’s coordination and cooperation across borders.

Hello all,
On the topic of Physical maps, how about PHYSICAL physical maps. In plastic. I dont own a 3D printer, but if anyone does, I can send .fbx files, or pretty much anything Blender can save as. Im a 3D modeller, and a good friend of Michals irl. If you have a greyscale like this map you want 3D modelled, feel free to send it along.
Note that it needs to be grayscale for me to be able to work with it, i cant do it with your standard color map, sorry!

Can I contact you when Quentinsburgh’s subway system is complete? I would love some help in creating a quality subway map (I’m trying to make one in Illustrator myself right now, haven’t gotten super far)
