    Default Greetings

    I am new to posting here but I checked this forum periodically over the years. I am a lifelong worldbuilder, former GM and currently a writer. About nine or ten years ago I first bought Campaign Cartographer but after messing around with it I never made a finished map. Since I have a little time this month I am practicing to produce some higher quality maps and infographics in Photoshop. Thanks for all the great inspiration and user produced tools.

    Hello Southern Crane, Welcome to the Guild!

    To get you started, 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!!

    I love those tutorials.

    Although this image below entitled "what terrible map design" perfectly illustrates the opposite problem of over thinking everything to be uber-realistic:
