    Default New Guy Sayin' Hi.

    Hi

    What a great page. I'm a big fan of Fantasy Fiction, and the maps have always been an important part of understanding the world for me. I found this page while looking for information to help me craft my own map. I've drawn rough for stories before but i've finally got a story that I want a high quality map for unfortunately my skills in this area just aren't up to the task. i have no doubt I can learn a lot here. I'm a complete tyro at this however, can anyone recommend a good beginner GIMP tutorial for me to start with? My own map may end up as a commission rather than a build but I'm always looking for something new to learn.

    Hello, Golden, welcome to the Guild!

    There is a great tutorial in the sticky section of Tutorials, called Quickstart Guide to Fantasy Mapping: http://www.cartographersguild.com/showthread.php?t=4276

    From there, go to Hand Drawn Mapping for the Artistically Challenged: http://www.cartographersguild.com/sh...ad.php?t=10655

    Once you have completed those two tutorials, you'll be well on your way!!


    If you decide you want to commission your map, there is a section of the forum called Mapmaking Requests, just post the request there according to the instructions
