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.

Tu'lorain Update (Top Right Corner)
and have refined things a little more. I use Fractal Terrains for my land shapes but i also wanted to use the relief map from it to. Using wilbur to erode the height map, i brought it in as a greyscape image and deleted all the black, Bump mapped the grayscale image, and set the layer to "Value" which allows the land colouring to show through (makes a difference when you have a mountain range that spreads from one geographical region to another). Forests are my usual spray dot bump map trees. Still working on the River styles....
