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.

Absolutely incredible work. You obviously have talent, but that's something many can claim (even myself to some degree). It's your dedication to perfection that's truly impressive. I never expected to use my own map for publication in my novel, but I dared to hope until I saw work like yours. I have yet to begin the daunting task of designing a print-worthy map, but artists like you, while intimidating, are a constant source of inspiration. Thanks for sharing your work. I look forward to seeing more from you.
