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.

The Aswari Atrium (FINISHED)
), following a pleasant town scene at dusk (Vystrigg Harbour) and a square section of a regional map (the Straits of Qalimbâr). This time I mapped part of an underground structure called the Aswari Atrium, the place where several underground tunnels (some dry, some only navigable by boat) come together. There's a smattering of fun and weird labels to lighten things up, along with some mysterious structures that are left to the viewer's/player's imagination. Such as a vertical, partly submerged shaft called the Fathomless Deep and a few corridors leading off to the sides where other structures might lay. Or maybe just ruins. Or dead ends. Or cracks leading to the Underdepths or whatever. Just go wild with it!
