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.

Yes, I indeed have a website, though it looks like this: helvene.ru - and feel free to browse if you're curious of what it may hide. I occasionally do some artwork, some game modding (that is mostly in the past now, as no one seems to be playing NWN1 anymore) and some - in fact, quite a few, - maps whenever I need them or find myself asked to make one. You can find most of them, among lots of other various stuff, here: helvene.ru/uploads - though I don't really consider the others finished and ready to be shown
Helvene, after seeing your starmaps I'll be eager to see what other work you have done. Very nice work. Do you do general artwork or just maps? If so, do you have a website? Again, really wonderful work.
