Greetings!
Over the last few weeks I have been toying with the idea of creating a community forum to discuss our collective hobby, cartography and the related arts. Well I've gone through with it and created one. Feel free to join! I will be sharing resources, and, if there is enough interest, some step by step tutorials on how I do things. This will also be a resource for you to contribute your own art, resources, and tutorials.
