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.

The Lakelands A map that was once for my novel (the world has changed since) so I will probably not finish.
Lots to like on this map; the color shading, the terrain layout, and I like the approach you took with the trees! It must have been a lot of work and paid off!
Thanks OUdaveguy98 It was indeed a lot of work: I thought my hand would snap off - and I'd just done the linework!
Colors, style, layout, design language, mood. it has everything! LOVE!
Thank you so much RenflowerGrapx! This one took a while to finish.
