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.

Thank you so much for your lovely comment and the rep, Jo
Thank you for the vote and all your kind words in the WIP thread!
Thanks for the rep and the kind words, it means a lot coming from a map maker of your ability!
Thank you, Joel I enjoy making them. You're right - it is a nice feeling making useful things for other people
Thank you JO. Appreciate the rep comment
hehe, thanks Joel no worries, the maps aren't going anywhere. Though.. they will increase over time. ;P
Oh, and thank you so much for the rep and comment on Dorina!
I'm fine - just incredibly busy. Over the last year I've made a full set of seamless textures, 4 or 5 Cartographer's Annual issues, at least a thousand new symbols, and written at least 6 articles for the Profantasy blog. Its been really busy, but really good fun
You bet JO!
You're welcome, Jo While I've been away your style has improved quite dramatically, so it was well deserved. That is not to say that other people haven't improved - only that I haven't had time to really look at everything yet.
