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.

Kolyana, these are excellent images. You have quite and eye as they say, and an even better grasp of the pen.... =)
Thank you Noodles! I truly appreciate the feedback and compliment!
I love your style. Keep'em coming. I'd love to get around to commissioning you some day because it's like you see inside my brain.
LOL, thanks Realmwright - I totally appreciate the compliment! There is a HUGE amount of joy in putting down onto paper what someone else has been envisaging for years and at some future point if I can do this for you too, then I would be thrilled to do so. It is honestly a great reward to be involved with someone's vision that way. There should be a new map coming in the next few days - a nice looking city I had the good fortune to work on for Kobold Quarterly.
