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.

. The city walls have the same width as the standard building, reduce it. Also the dropshadow of the towers is too long IMO. Oh, and there are some weird house shapes, mostly near crossings. Try to avoid that. For me it is helpful to have an eye at the scale in the CC3 prompt. Also use the distance tool to get a feeling of proportions.
