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 Larb
I'm sorry to hear about that Larb. Maybe I can send you images of bright and awesome cities or something to pick up your spirits and aid motivation? I do hope it is a temporary 'ill' and not long term.
I've been ill for a while. I want to get back in to making maps and things but I feel tired a lot and lack motivation.
Hope you are doing okay Larb. Haven't seen you around on the Guild in a while... and I dearly miss your maps.
Thanks for the rep on Fuervald and just generally being great conversation on here. Hope to see some new maps from you when time allows. Cheers, J
Hey Larb, thanks for the rep and vote on the Thurian Age map. That perspective change was harder than I thought it would be, especially because I didn't thoroughly plan it out before jumping in. At Ilanthar's suggestion I might do it in color, though that's a bit daunting - color and shadow and all.
Hey, I just realized my inbox is full. Give me a sec to clean that up. Sorry.
Thank you for the comment and the rep Larb.
I understand being constrained by a client's wishes. I only mentioned it because it is always one of the first things I notice usually because I try to imagine myself walking around them.
Thank you Larb, as always, for the comment and the rep. It can be frustrating sometimes with a client that wants things that don't always make sense. But one must go on. Cheers.
