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 Mouse!!
Aw, thank you Sue! Though it's not true what you say, your maps definitely ooze the professional quality. I'm just blown away and inspired by seeing your Erahum map develop - those cliffs are just G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S. So don't put yourself down, we always see the flaws in our own pieces, and believe me yours are nothing short of stunning! Also, I don't know why, but I always mix between calling you Sue and calling you Mouse.
Thanks Mouse, that makes me smile. I definitely think I've improved a lot since I started mapping and I do love to style-hop a fair bit and experiment, but I do love doing these more elegant type of maps the most. I'd still love to be able to do what you do, both with your CC3+ stuff, but mostly with your beautiful hand-drawn/GIMP pieces. And don't you worry, I've still got your lovely Road to Tiamis ear-marked for this year's atlas awards!
Thanks for the rep and kind comment Sue I like dandy !
Thanks for the B-day wishes, Mouse! ^_^
Thanks for the rep on Atlantide, Sue. Happy that this version please you, it's my favorite also. Good luck with your lap top problems.
Thanks. I changed it because of the numerous sites (like Discord) that shows a disk for avatars... My old salamander didn't fit well in a disk, so... and a bit of colour doesn't hurt, does it?
Thanks for the rep, vote, and comment Sue
thanks for the rep and the comments on Cordeauna Island map! I'm going to work on refining it. This was just to get the process down. I'm just glad it worked!
Thanks Mouse
