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.

STAR map flat The original STAR-MAP for Elyden's skies. every constellation has been detailed (to varying degrees) and a handful of major stars have also been detailed in my notes.
This is truly lovely. Have you thought up any sort of mythology for the constellations? Or drawn any 'full-figured' illustrations for them?
I will do, and they'll feature in the big stereographic map. With regards the myth, its very much a wip thing with little detail fleshed out
Wow! As an amatuer astronomer (although not a very good one) I love that someone has gone to the detail to make a star map! Keep up the good work. PS: These constellations probably look alot more like their names than the ones seen from Earth. Also, can't wait until your stereographic map is finished. It looks great so far.
thanks! I was worried some might not be too recognisable. One of them, Nephilia, is a direct copy of Orion (Its pretty much in the middle along the equator). The stereographic map will include the outlines of the constellations to better show what they are. Once it's done
