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.

Lamprey Ship bg Starfield
I love all the little details you have here (like the gear mechanism on the ship's ram). The ship's ladders are pretty cool too! Have you considered adding handrails to the ladders? I can't find a picture of a ship's ladder in an actual ship, but here is a ship's ladder in a building with metal handrails. I saw a film once where sailors on a ship actually went down the ladder by sliding down the handrails (instead of climbing down).
Thanks, I like putting in a lot of little details. Not sure how to add hand rails. I don't have much drawing skill. I mostly modify photos.
