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.

Hehe, thanks Ilanthar. She's a little bigger than in my profile pic now, but still just as beautiful. Good luck in the rest of the voting!
Thank you for such an inspiring and beautiful map
Your borders and compass won a vote from me long before your map was even near finished, and it just got better from there . Especially that compass though - that is a powerful-looking compass. I could just see some cloaked figure standing on a mountain ledge, overlooking the wide plain of an entire kingdom, holding that compass up to the star-filled night sky as it ticks and spins in arcane motions, divining the places of future events of great import.
First of all sorry for the mess, and thank you for clearing this up. I was under the impression that the map had to be published in 2017 overall, so Kosmic's map would have fitted in. Does this mean his map will be eligible for nomination for the next Atlas Awards?
Haha, yes, I will finish it. Thanks for your comments Ilanthar. They're always appreciated.
Je suis ravi que ta merveille ait le succès qu'elle mérite
