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.

Portolan chart of The Three Sisters
Started as a ballpoint pen sketch during a slow hour at work, scanned it and turned it to grayscale a while ago, and today I found it and felt like finishing it. Recycled a lot of names from earlier maps because I spent more time on the portolan lines than I was planning to put into the whole thing
I'm quite fond of the mountain style, reminds me of old scars which is kinda fitting, it could be improved in a lot of ways but that's for another time
The fonts are Powell Antique and Roman Antique Italic.
