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.

Hi NeonKnight, I've been offline for a bit, have you done any Demon Queens Enclave maps yet? I'd love to see'em.
Yer Welcome. Glad I was of help. And, No, only just started Demon Queens Enclave myself.
I contacted Waldronate, and he answered my questions. I appreaciate your help.
Did you ever do the Demon Queens Enclave maps? I cant find them.
Thanx! And Waldonrate is Joe Slayton's Handle. He is the Author of Fractal Terrains, and will gladly help you out.
Ok, I appreaciate your help. BTW,thanks for your turorials. I'm in the process of reading them threw. I normally just make Deck plans with CC3, so maping is new to me. But it's very intresting and I hope to someday, produce some stuff close to what you guys put out.
Well, you know who the BEST person to ask is? Joe Slayton. He is a member here, and at the moment his online handle escapes me. Merry Christmas. I will try and find out.
This is what it outputs... or a version there of.... http://www.mstsls.com/ls/Junk/Test.JPG it's very ugly, I want something I can use to create a nice world map out of. It also does not use the correct colors I'm using. Terra Firma Shaders etc.
And Merry CHRISTmas to you and your family.
