    Default Howdy

    How's it going everyone? I'm Derik and I'm an aspiring writer. I've been working on a large sword and sorcery fantasy project and a big part of it is coming up with a very detailed and realistic map to display the world.

    I hope to learn a lot about cartography and check out all the great maps that members have created.

    Cheers!

    Hey Derik, and welcome to the Guild! Just check out all the different subforums and ask whatever question arises. We're a pretty helpful bunch, as I've found out myself.

    Hello Derik! Welcome to the Guild!

    There is a great tutorial in the sticky section of Tutorials, called Quickstart Guide to Fantasy Mapping: http://www.cartographersguild.com/showthread.php?t=4276

    From there, go to Hand Drawn Mapping for the Artistically Challenged: http://www.cartographersguild.com/sh...ad.php?t=10655

    Once you have completed those two tutorials, you'll be well on your way!!
