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.

Saramant, Sarpaedon, Praja Fantasy Commission
I made these maps for a commission of a fantasy novel, two zoomed regions and a world map were requested. I use Procreate on iPadpro for all my maps, which seems to work really well for this type of thing. Nothing too complicated, I'd say the most difficult part was trying to get everything in the three maps to line up (as accurately as possible for me). Hopefully I'll figure out a more efficient or better method for future. Enjoy!
