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.

Thnx but i can't really call my work great because i used techniques posted by other people and just experimented with a lot of crap. I can't write a guide as alot of my stuff has been learned from other people's tutorials, i can only claim a few techniques as mine, and so i'd just be copying them, but i can point you towards what tuts i did use for various parts of my maps. Still even without any tuts i learned that the best way to get the hang of map-making is to experiment, i make several UGLY changes to my maps in an attempt to try and get something to look right, i actually spend most of my time undoing these ugly mistakes. -D-
You are realy good. prob the best I found in mapmaking. They are soo butiful. Did you create a Guide? If not, i beg you on by my maploving heart. Pleas good sir. give us a guide and your textures. best r. Mikael Mansén (mmansen)
