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.

Here's another version of my Lothgar Map; a sort of homage to a2area's "Israh" map.
Wow, that's gorgeous!
Unreal. Teach me.
Thanks Flatrabbit! Actually I used A2area's tutorial for this one. If you run a search for his name, filter it by "started threads" and "tutorials" you should find it. Cheers, -Arsheesh
This is a beautiful map. I will have to check out that tutorial!
Thanks DearCyrus! Cheers, -Arsheesh
