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.

If this is your first visit, be sure to check out the FAQ. You will have to register before you can post or view full size images in the forums.

Thansk a lot for the REP, XCali ! You are right : it looks like simple maps, because it's just a village, but it takes a really long time to get all the details right... Moreover if it's a city

Thanks a lot for the REP ! Actually, this style is a kind of a "copycat" from Guillaument Tavernier's style... He made a really good tutorial (you can find it here on youtube) It's quite easy to follow !
