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.

I just wanted to personally thank you for all your excellent tutorials. They are easy to follow for the complete newbie and expansive enough to force some learning and growing to happen. You helped get my artwork up enough that I'm excited about learning (because I have nifty results now) rather than daunted by it. Thanks so much and I hope you keep adding to your tutorial selection. I will be posting my first "RobA Tutorial conglomerate" map once I finally work my way to the end of your tutorials.
