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.

Map of Revita - process
So with that in consideration I'll be reposting. I've made recent re-adjustments. I actually didn't die! I just drove myself mad with the map and got too hung up about certain things instead of actually doing something useful. So I took a break and came back to it. I'm using the conical projection, but I will be doing separate views for the north hemisphere and south hemisphere on their own to achieve a better idea of their shape. I've also been utilizing Photoshop's 3d tools to get a better idea of this projected on a globe. Now, when I say restart, I really mean it. I'll be posting from the beginning of this once very stylized map to its more refined state now. These aren't really in order either but it's more than obvious which ones are new and which ones aren't.
