Hello masters and mistress cartographers...

[ChrisCB]

I prefer Madame Cartographer.

Ok, so it will be Madame. Even if I think that using Mistress shows more "mastering" than just a simple everyday title .

So for my two cents, Chris, please do interact and become a proper part of this Guild rather than just another lurker. We'd love to have you along.
I also do like that first map a lot! You have a nice sketchy style and the muted colors work well. A nice little piece.
Welcome to the Guild, and allow me to be the first one to rep you!

Of course, I won't chat only to improve my cartographer skills. I know me enough to be sure that I will speak about fantasy worlds, role play, or anything else. I'm french, you know, and we have a reputation for debating about anything. And that's not only a rumor, but we do love to debate... a lot. And thank you for the critics about this map. My style is coming from my technic: I draw my sketch with a blue pencil, then use Rotring pen with Chinese ink, scan the map, remove the blue lines, add the old paper texture and add colors with a wet brush in photoshop.

bout participating, you should do it if you enjoy it, because it's fun

I've no doubt I'll enjoy chatting with you all and participate in the challenges. I enjoy drawing maps, and because it's fun, I want to improve my skills. When something is not fun (to my point of view), I usually don't want to improve myself.
