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.

Oh really? masel tov. i really like your maps. technically perfect, and just off the "sehgewohnheiten" (what we expect to see or used to see). And they are always finished to a state where there is no "could have" or "should have". For me, i am just happy that got back into drawing and stuff and post it on the internet.
Thanks for nominating me. No one has ever nominated me for the cartographer's choice award before. <3 ...probably because I forget to post most of my art in the 'finished' section, heh. You also seem to have that problem... next year we gotta remember to post more of our art in the finished section!
Thanks for the rep comment on my challenge map. I don't know if I'll have the chance to complete it for the challenge but I will try to complete it at a later date, both versions eventually, because they are important pieces of world building for the weird novel to which they are attached.
