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.

Middle Earth for HighlandLoch.
Of course the whole map is great, but the swirls on the sea are just perfect.
Wow! I literally love everything about this map, but I think the Treebeard icon standing to the west of Isengard is my personal favorite.
This is utterly amazing! So impressive!
Beautiful work! I love the vignette-like drawings
I'm loving this! I like the little Vignettes for the important cities, and I'm a big fan of the water swirls. Did you do them all by hand or did you make a tileable pattern?
@Darknesskilla Thanks a lot ! It's a... hand-made tileable pattern, composed in Photoshop
I love how you magnify the important cities. The middle earth map never gets old.
Just love it. MistyBeee, thanks for sending me to this website. I am not an artist, but I sure appreciate a fine talent.
Great map - your artistry really shines!
Love it, great work!
