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.

Over the last couple days, as I've been working on some of the stuff that I did right when I first started this whole thing, I've been fighting urges to scrap that old crap and redo it nicely
For example, I drew the landmasses and warped them into stereographic projections, but then drew rivers and mountain ranges and borders on afterwards, so they don't quite seem to stretch just the right way near the extremes of the map. And the mercator projection has neither mountains or rivers or borders on it, which means I need to copy them from a stereographic projection and somehow transform them from there into a properly sized mercatorial version. Bleh. At least the text in the filler areas is still progressing nicely, though there's still a massive wad of it to go.
