    Default Another Boring Introduction...

    Hi everyone,

    I discovered this site the other day after looking for tools to create simple maps for a fantasy novel i intend to write for NanoWriMo next month. I've wasted most of the past few days watching mapping tutorials and having a play in gimp and I'm hooked. My first map is still a work in progress but I think I've found yet another distraction that will take me away from my writing. I'm editing a sci-fi novel and now i'm contemplating making a political map for it too (future Earth). So much fun. Anyway, I just wanted to say Hi and I look forward to seeing everyone's maps.

    Welcome to the Guild arik! I'm looking forward to seeing your maps too! And good luck with NaNoWriMo, it is so much fun. I've only tried it twice but I've really enjoyed it.

    Cheers,
    Meshon

    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!!
