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.

Hi Tiana! Your vote and your support in the challenge was very much appreciated! Thank you very much for your kind words!
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.
Hope you find use for it.
HaHa I love it! Glad the details are giving her ideas. Occasionally, I get feedback that I put in to much detail and they would rather have a plain map so they can do what they want with it and verbally tell the players what they see. I can see that point of view, but I like to think that all the details I put in give a richer framework to develop ideas from. I learned a long time ago that you cannot please everyone so I stay happier by not worrying about stuff. The voting is the same. We both made really nice maps but didn't get many votes. That happens when there are a lot of entries and 4 of them are outstanding. Many people will only cast 1 to 3 votes no matter what, if there are 4 great maps, they use up all of those votes, and there are not many votes left for the next tier of maps. I've had some of my best maps only get one vote or none. But I still got a lot of positive feedback and I am satisfied with that.
I'm glad you have such a great use for the map. Say Happy Birthday to your friend from me!
Thank you so much for the Vote!! I'm glad the throne room lived up to your expectations!
Thanks a lot for the REP, Tiana ! It's always encouraging !
I thought you'd never ask! What did you have in mind? I prefer battlemap size maps, but am open to other suggestions. What are you interested in creating?
Thanks for the rep
happy birthday!
