Hello from Graeme (try 2)

[Gamerprinter]

Hello all,

I am a Winnipeg fantasy writer and I've been creating an imaginary world since I was a teenager. It's resulted in dozens of maps, and now that I have sold my first story to a publisher and am working on a much larger work, I'd like to get cracking on making a map.

So far, I've only done hand drawings, but I resolved to go online looking for software that would generate a realistic one, which I'd fill in. This led me here, and I was really impressed with what you guys got here. I'm open to suggestions, and look forward to learning. Feel free to give me suggestions or point me to useful threads or parts of the forum, etc.

Looking forward to getting to know you guys!

Is this the same Graeme, that I know - just joined my Kaidan Kickstarter? (I'm Michael Tumey, BTW)

Welcome ot the site, check out the Finished Maps Forum, find a map style you like, then look at what software was used to create it, then go to the Mapping Software Forum and hunt for the application. From there go to the Tutorials section and read up a tut on using that application to make maps. That's the usual method to start your skills in map making.

Welcome to the site, I hope you learn something while you're here!

Thanks for the warm welcome, guys! I will check out the link soon. I am at a writing conference right now, but will check in soon. And Michael, that doesn't ring a bell, sorry. Now, either I have a bad memory (so, please do refresh), but there are also lots and lots of Graeme Browns - even here in Winnipeg there are three that I know of. And here I thought John Smith was the name that made you blend into the crowd...

Chat soon!
