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.

and the process did help inform the science behind the world). The world is pretty desolate, but supports some forms of life. It is very hot, so water is only existant underground and at the poles. (This isn't very clear on the picture as the main body of land has raised sections which currently look like islands and make it difficult to tell what is water. I plan to smooth these raised regions to blend more into the rest and make it clearer. Again, using a variable line width and shadowing again should help with this.)
