Any skilled artists? (world map)

I was wondering if there are any skilled artists that would be willing to try and paint/draw (whatever) a world map for the surface of the server? It can be in whatever form you like, but must be clear enough to see everything and be 647 x 647 in size and a tga file format.

Anyone think they want to try? I only ask, because I'd like to add a picture to the world map button IG, so players can bring up a map while IC.
About a year ago, I did the below picture using.. I think the latest might and magic games toolset to create it. It's not what I am after, but it gives an artist an idea of the layout if they want to attempt it.

All joking aside and credit to your map making on HoMM because that is a pretty good map! The only jarring thing about it is the font, honestly.

Cheers Leg :) I'm kinda hoping someone can come up with a more realistic, gritty sort of medieval style world map, rather than the one above. I threw the pic up, mainly as a guideline for a potential artist. Even one like the original campaign for Neverwinter Nights.

Here is the link to DM_Xzar's work on a map system, I don't think it was completed but it's pretty good, must have taken them a while! The icons for each settlement are a nice touch, too.
