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.

Scribble Rock - May/June 2017 Lite Challenge winner. Blended CC3/GIMP map (GIMP background imported to CC3 map and rendered as one map)
Another brilliant map and the water is spectacular. I especially like the waters edge as it hits the beach. Very convincing image—pardon me while I grab a beach towel.
Thanks Jay Although this is a hybrid CC3/GIMP map, I first developed the water technique I use here in Merelan City. I've always loved water so clear you can see the seabed.
