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.

LOL! that's a relief You're welcome Evan
Thanks for the rep.! I actually prefer people to point out issues in my work, because if they didn't, it would be hard to fix that problem, let alone notice it. Thanks again, Sue!
Thanks for the rep and the comment, LC - always much appreciated

Thank you for the rep and the lovely comment on The Road to Tiamis, Evan - much appreciated
I'd love to see you continue to develop both approaches
I'm sure it does with everyone, without all those handy filters and brushes you can use digitally. It turns hours to seconds.
You're very welcome, Evan. It takes a lot more to do a hand drawn map than it does to do the same thing with a mapping app (well, it does when I do it ) So - very well deserved
