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. I agree, I've been in a lot of harbors and all the boats are different.

Thanks for the Rep! I had already picked 2 cloud pictures to use as the edges of the river, but when I saw those 2 sunset pictures I changed plans from doing a regular river to the lava river. So I actually used 4 different cloud pictures to make the map. I was pleasantly surprised how it came out.
Thanks for the REP, glad you liked it.
