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.

Thanks ChickPea. Yeah, I'd like to do a color version if time allows. I really missed doing the challenges. You gain so much doing them. I'm not sure when I'll have another chance again - I'm swamped right now.
Could mention to Robbie, just in case it's something he's overlooked and it's easily fixed? Might just be a line in a configuration file somewhere. Or maybe not.... :/ Good luck!
Man, that sucks. That link is on tons of pics. Thanks for letting me know. Must fix that.
Hey, I noticed a little thing on your Haerlech map (not sure if it's on others too). You have a link to your Guild profile down the bottom but it's a 404. Not sure if one of the server upgrades has changed configurations somewhere but (unless I mistyped) it's not working now. Shame to have this map go out into the world with the wrong URL on it. :/
No problem. You deserved it.
Thanks for the rep!
Thanks. Hope we get some good responses. Looking forward to seeing what you choose!
I like that best of the year thread. That's going to be tough to answer but I'll try to get to that soon. Maybe tonight. Good thinking.
Yeah, there are so many hidden gems that deserve the spotlight again. I love it when I stumble across something amazing and can't wait to tweet it! Hope Gluhoded does return. Probably is real life getting in the way, but a little vote of encouragement might help.
I'm glad you found and posted those works by Gluhoded over on twitter. Those are awesome. Posted some to FB. Sent a message to see if they still do mapping. Their 'About me' said they were in Med school so real life may have taken over.
