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.

Thanks for the rep on my British Isles Map #1! I'm so glad you like my castle drawings, because I've been trying hard to improve my drawing skills. Most of them take me forever (or at least it feels like forever), but the castle covered in ivy was my quickest yet! It was also my first attempt at ivy, so I'm thrilled that you like it!
Thank you so much for the vote on Roland's Journey, it's much appreciated!
Thanks so much for the rep and the lovely comment about my seals/stamps! I'm glad you liked them.
Thanks for the rep on my Lost Island of Queensr˙che map! I'm glad you liked it.
