I'm a long time lurker and over the past year and a half I've tried tutorial after tutorial with mediocre results. About three years ago I made a map for a co-authored epic fantasy, the final product did the job but it was rather discouraging (lol). I got over that in late 2014 and started working on maps again, but this time for my own fantasy worlds. Now I've started a story that I just can't put down, and I feel like the story is begging me for a map. More like a few maps, but I want to focus on a world map first.

I finally signed up for Cartographer's Guild because of the supportive community, as well as all the tips, tricks, and tutorials throughout the site. Not to mention that I want to start investing more in my fantasy maps and with my new wacom intuos draw I feel I can step past my mouse induced mediocre abilities.

You guys rock! It's nice to greet all you awesome people.
