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 for the explanation! I like to see other people's processes, there's always something to pick up, and understanding what you're doing makes it easier to comment too! I love the colors you're putting on this, very Ilanthar-esque
Regarding the three versions, I like the last one, it's subtler in the shading which I think is what a map of this size and detail level needs. Will be very interesting to see the rivers placed.
