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 Phil, I did decide to go with the clumps. Cheers, -Arsheesh
Wow thanks Phil! Actually it's been quite a while since I've done any cartography. I've been meaning to get back into it but there never seems to be enough time. I have not published anything at this point, but perhaps some day I'll look into it. At any rate, I wish you the best in your own artistic endeavors! Cheers, -Arsheesh
thanks for your kind words about my artwork... looking at your deviant art work, it reminded me that i am also a big fan of your map styles. you do brilliant work. have you produced any published rpg resource material? it looks like you could easily if you have not yet. phil
Hey there Philp Stephen. I wanted to thank you for the rep, and for the encouraging words. I do have a Deviantart page (here) but I haven't got much work on it, other than a couple of maps and my current painting project. Now that I've had a taste of painting though that is going to change. By the way, I took a peak at your website and I gotta say, I like your philosophy on life and on art. You seem like a genuine person, someone whose doing his part to give something back to this messed up world. I solute you! Cheers, -Arsheesh
Thanks for the kind words, and for the rep. Cheers.
