Welcome!
The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.
Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

Hey thanks for the friends invite Diamond!
Well-deserved rep on that painting, I say. I was totally serious when I said it looked better than most stuff I've seen; I might have to commission you to paint some portraits for the characters in the book I'm writing!
Thanks for the rep, and for the kind words Diamond. I must say though that I feel my work still has a long way to go, but I am encouraged to here that you think it's that good.
Happy Birthday Diamond!
No problemo, dude.
Hi Diamond, thanks for the encouragement and the rep. And by the way, I really enjoy pouring over your maps.
