Looking for a good submap designer

Like a lot of people on SMWC I am one of those who can't design amazing overworlds. What I have done so far is something I'm content with but I need someone to design a final submap for me. Here is my prototype:




I am greatly disappointed in this design and I have no ideas left as I spent it all on my other overworlds and submaps. I'd appreciate if someone could design a new one or greatly improve the current design of this (in my opinion) failure of a final submap.

I'm relatively alright at designing submaps. I'll post one of my maps in a second.

That's really good. I don't know why it's hard to make an overworld/submap when it seems so easy. But anyways are you willing to take the task on?
Yes, I can make a submap for you, but I need to know how many levels and pipes it has and other stuff possibly. Also, how would I go about making it? Would you send your hack to me and have me make it and then I send it back? Or would I just make it in an unedited rom and send it to you?
How To Design a Good Overworld
Ok here's the details.

1.The map will have about 7-8 levels.
2. Only 2 pipes.
3. The "theme" is about Bowser's Kingdom, dark, mixed between mountain-like and plains. (Use the map you posted as a bit of reference to what I'm getting at.)
4. Use an unedited rom and send it. (To avoid the limits my rom will give you in its current state.)

You can go all out if you like using exgfx or just stick to the vanilla OW graphics. I don't mind either way, I just need a nice design.

Of course when the hack is finished you'll be credited.
Could you perhaps redraw Bowser's Castle and make it smaller? Because, I've pretty much got the map done, but there's not enough room for Bowser's castle.

How To Design a Good Overworld
Why can't you stick Bowser's Castle in the upper-left?
I don't have much experience with drawing tiles. I've done some drawing and blocks on my own but something that big is out of my reach for now.

So the only options here are to:

1. Modify the map a little more
2. You would have to redraw if you have more experience than I do.

I think asking to redraw that is a bit too much so you should go with the former.

Edit: Also why can't it fit in that huge space up near the top?

That's what I just said...
If he put it there, there would be enough room to draw the path to get to it.

Good submap though....

Yeah, so Bowser's castle is just barely too big. And some of the lava sticks out which is easily fixed, but I just want to make sure that

"Oh Exor, you're so awesome." So it is done. I will send it soon.

Bowser's Castle is missing its top. Or is that the offscreen area of the map?

The top part is offscreen.

Perfect. Thanks Exor. I'm waiting for it to be sent.

You sneaky person. You modified the submap and then edited the picture. :O
