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.

Haha, well I have a whole folder's worth of them on my computer. I've got enough unfinished challenge threads, but that's no included the ones I never bothered posting! Still, hope to enter the book cover (hand-drawing again!) and maybe this inset challenge thing.
Thank you very much!
Och, don't feel guilty at all. Doesn't matter if you didn't make it yourself from scratch. It's how you incorporated it into the map, and the work you put in to achieve that. That's what counts. And the final result is gorgeous!
Thanks for the rep and helpful comments along the way to finishing my first map, Mouse. I really appreciate it.
Thanks for the comment and the rep Mouse !
It doesn't change the fact that the whole drawing is really beautiful ! Well deserved vote and rep !
Thanks a lot for this kind comment and rep Mouse I hope you'll do more space maps!
Thanks for the birthday wishes Sue
Haha, yes, sometimes there's a lot to work with and other times there's virtually nothing, but yeah, you get used to it! Thanks for the rep and the comments Mouse!
And thank you! I really do appreciate the feedback and helpful critique. It keeps me excited and motivated to continue working on this and other projects.
