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.

When I stopped work on it last I had made it so that the forests had a faux perspective effect with smaller trees at the back and larger at the front. This meant completely rejigging how it saved the trees in an array as the rows at the back held far more trees than at the front. This was all working but I ran into some problems with positioning looking a bit crap on certain lines as the change in sizes etc. meant that every now and again the lines would sync up somewhat and would look terrible... Ah well, hopefully I will sort it next time I get onto it. Sorry for taking this OT.
