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.

Och, don't feel guilty at all. Doesn't matter if you didn't make it yourself from scratch. It's how you incorporated it into the map, and the work you put in to achieve that. That's what counts. And the final result is gorgeous!
Aw thanks for the lovely comment and the rep, ChickPea - and the vote I feel a bit guilty, now, because the ship is a rendering of a 3D model I bought from Cornucopia... though setting up the Vue scene to get exactly the picture I wanted was, I admit, the trickiest bit of the whole map!
Haha - Space Beastie it is, then! I think I will call it that when I add it to Finished Maps
Haha, I was typing my rep comment & realised halfway through that I had no idea how to spell cela-thingie... Space beastie works for me!
Its a celapho... no I mean cephalopod! LOL! (I had to edit my own flipped-around spelling mistakes in more than one of my own comments on the thread)! The word seems to lend itself to any latent dyslexic tendencies. Next time I'm doing a cat... or a dog... something with only three letters in it! Thanks for the rep, the comment and the vote, Chickpea
A very worthy map, even if it is evil its wickedly funny - your welcome, ChickPea
Thanks, Mouse! Appreciate the rep and the comment.
