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.

Happy birthday, ladiestorm! Hope you have a lovely day.
thanks so much ChickPea! I do have some tweaking and refining to do on this technique... but what I'm most excited about, is that the technique works!
Thank you so much for the rep, and your comment on my Oct Challenge map! Oh, and btw... the story on the parchment was the best idea I could come up with to show the quest part of the challenge! lol
Thanks ChickPea! I'm just glad I was able to finish Themiscyra... or at least get it finished enough for the challenge!
Thanks, for the rep ChickPea! I actually had a lot of fun making this one! Making a map using only profantasy products is a challenge in and of itself!
Thanks for the rep. Wow, I must be slacking if this is the first map of mine you've seen! I'll need to be more productive.
Thanks so much for the rep, ChickPea! I had fun with this one
Thanks.so much for the rep, ChickPea! This map took a lot of work, but it was a lot of fun!
Thank you so much for the rep, ChickPea! I guess I've improved a bit from the first maps you saw of mine.:-D. Thanks for helping me along the way!
Chickpea, thank for the rep on my Merydyan map! I'm glad you liked the dragon!!! I thought it would be a great touch, since I mentioned dragons in the story I wrote
