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. I'm totally impressed by the way that Your "Maps from another world" project looks. Currently I'm working on something, that is very similar to Your's project style (Maps stylized at those one that were created at the turn of XIX & XX century). Would You be so kind, and give me some tips, how to do this kind of maps? (especially - the paper texture, and other stylization issues.) I'll be very thankful. Thanks for help, Qbista.
