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.

I have to agree with you about the glow from the lava. It was my favorite part as well and I was so happy with how it came out. It is always interesting to see how things develop. Look at Sapiento's entry for the regular challenge this month, his initial sketch is really rough but as he goes forward it just keeps getting refined. That is one of my favorite things about watching the challenges. Just seeing how people develop the piece. It's actually kind of a let down when they just *bam* post a finished image

Thanks again for the expressions of appreciation on my entry. Time will tell who wins but at least we are in the running, eh?
