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.

Sure thing Max. And about time too
Well deserved, as usual!
Thanks for the Rep! I started late and while I did get on a scale, I didn't get around to a legend.
Thank you very much for the vote!
Hey there Max! Loved your Jardhen map, as always your city maps are fantastic! I have one production question if you don`t mind! If I ever get a B&W comission, for a book let`s say, can I use shades of grey? Or it can only have Black and White as colors? Thanks and sorry to bother you!
Merci pour la rep l'artiste, j'apprécie
Dear Guilder. It is traditional for me to solicit advice on my contest entries especially when they bomb so badly. It is the only way to Improve ! So if you can spare a few minutes what exactly was it that you personally found lacking in my entry “The Dark Journey “ Was it too simple ; Hard to understand : Too plain ?? Or something else ? I am asking so be blunt Thanks in advance for the advice ! It will help me Improve ! Sincerely lostatsea
Unfortunately I cannot give you rep for your April 2014 challenge entry. Nonetheless, rep is yours in spirit if not in reality. A fantastic map, and, personally speaking, one of your best (and that is up against some pretty stiff competition). Good luck with the voting. THW
No problem! Thank you too!
No worries. It's a great piece. Maybe one day I'll get a commission from you.
