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 Road to Tiamis, MMM - much appreciated
You deserved it, MMM
Thank you for your vote Mouse!
Krita is easy to use, but like I think you have already been advised, you really do need a tablet to get the best out of it. GIMP is easier if you only have a mouse to play with A cheap Wacom Bamboo will do. You don't have to go and lash out on one of those Łthousands worth of gear with built in screens or anything
LOL! Well, like I said earlier on your thread, I have a feeling I was just as much of a hindrance as a help by consistently failing to make sufficient allowances for your having zero experience in the field of digital art, but thank you all the same. It was fun
Thank you for helping with my first digital work!!
Thank you for the rep, MMM. That's very kind of you, but you really didn't need to
