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 scale is.. uhm, European? Since we are talking about a medieval fantasy world, there aren't that many towns everywhere like today, we've got some areas of concentration around capitals. I made some primitive labeling with no names (just yet). Regarding rivers, I took the liberty of only drawing in the main and largest rivers in the land mask. If I do end up putting in more rivers, I'l do it separately using a pencil drawing tool or something of the sort.
