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.

Hello Chick! Thank you very much indeed for the reputation!
Thank you!
Thank you very much for the rep!
Thank you Cornelia. I was compelled to get that map done so I could focus on my other work. I was on the fence about it at first, as I had some words in english and most weren't. I decided to have none in english in the end.
Thank you Chick, I'm glad you liked the river map.
Thanks for the rep. Yeah, I should have planned better, but you live and learn.
Thanks for the rep and the support in my map making. Further map coming ...
Thanks Cornelia. Is Andre sending a book to you?
Yeah, I was pretty happy with how the cover came out. The interior art was changed some. I know why so I can't fault them but it is not quite as interesting. It did show me that I need to use more contrast when greyscale is done for a book. Your map looks good in there. I'll try to get some pics today if I can.
I had it in our agreement that when it came out he would send me a signed copy. I wanted to read it too. When I do work where there will be a physical copy type product I try to asked for a copy as part of my agreements. It can be tricky to make sure that they follow through. Some don't but most do. You should send him an email and asked if he would send you one. Or I can send you pics if you're interested.
