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.

As for the mountains, i guess i could have portrayed them larger, though the client liked them the way they are since Ireland really has foothills rather than mountains. An Irishman might call a hill a mountain if he's never really seen a real mountain before, so maybe its all relative, lol. As for readability, i would concur if the reader needed to differentiate between a hill and a mountain, but since there are no other hills and mountains aside from the ones labelled mountains, its a moot point!
