    Hello guys, I'm new here and never joined a forum before so please forgive me if I make mistakes.

    I'm here to admire maps and share mine.

    This map is one I made using GIMP and MS paint, taking colors from images and "posterizing" them. some continent names are Ordale, Wayward Islands, Vemartean, and some other names I forgot.

    Well I hope this is a good one, don't really know how to properly end this post.

    Hello and welcome to the cartographers' guild forums

    Your map is looking nice, if simple. Adding some text labels for the names of landmasses and bodies of water could liven it up some, as would a border round the edges and a title headline.

    Welcome to the guild!
    Nice map, though it's a bit too scattered and fractalized in my opinion. But maybe that's what you were going for? Some giant archipelago? It looks like someone dribbling sauce for islands in some places.

    Hope to see you around!

    yeah i have done that before, i've been in the mapmaking for 10 years i think. i have tried many other different styles and i think my OCD is the reason i hate my own maps.
