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.
If this is your first visit, be sure to check out the FAQ. You will have to register before you can post or view full size images in the forums.
Thanks for the REP! I do what I can.
Thanks for the rep But it's not done yet
Thanks for the rep chick. I tried to rep you earlier today - your contest map was awesome - but apparently I need to spread the rep around first. Cheers!
Thanks for the rep and the vote, mate! Same to you--yours was definitely my favourite for this month. Good luck with the final hours of voting.
Haha, you're still better at mapping than I am.
Thanks for the vote.
Thanks for the rep and the kind words
Chick I really don't see myself as being very skilled. I am however MUCH better than when I first happened upon the guild.There are all sorts of resources here and no shortage of friendly helpful people. You have improved quickly since you have been here ! Looking forward to what you come up with next.
Just want to say kudos for your Lite Challenge entry, and good luck with the monthly!
Thanks for the rep and the vote! It is pretty easy to get the effect using Bevel and Emboss and Outer Glow in Photoshop.
