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.

Hmmm, thats some good advice. The Mountains are called the Skyreach, tallest part of the mountains are to the north and south regions. So this is one of the taller regions. I'll make a post on Work in Progress with the hand-drawn map of the continent. If that'll be okay, i mean.
The main thing I need help with is ideas. The Seneshaara is a vast expanse of desert and I have nothing about it. I don't have any real idea about it other than the shape and the name of the country. I am not good with desert atmosphere, so this is a bit challenging. So I guess Geography in general. All I have is that a mountain range seperates the Country Amesyus, Meloira, and New Folkand from Seneshaara so the North and Eastern Bodern is mountain. The west and south is Alkazirian Desert.
Hello, I am Dornier Spy. I saw your work on the Sultanates. Very impressive. I was wondering if you had any tips for a Middle Eastern style for me. I currently have a country called Seneshaara that I need help working with. I don't have much information on it. I have a post that explains a bit more on it in General Discussion under the title "First Map Discussion". Just curious, thats all.
I was awestruck by your work! I am new to the whole mapping experience and was wondering what software you used?
Thanks for the Rep!

Max! I love your map of the Old Empire of Lorn. I'm new to this site, and it looks like you're a pro. Would you mind helping me out with one of my maps?
