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 for the rep and nice comment, Mouse! That would be nice if it did, but who knows.
The Challenges are brilliant at getting the 'mappy' juices flowing. I hope to see more of your work too. You have a very vibrant colour sense
I always try to use the challenges for pushing forwards creatively and going outside the comfort zone and found I've improved a lot (I hope) since doing them. They aren't always the most popular maps, but I get to try new things, so I look forwards to what you come up with too! Also, thanks for the rep and the nice comment Mouse!
Thanks for the rep, GLS It was an experience and a half working outside my normal comfort zone - without a pre-set style or grid! LOL!
