    Wip Advice On Map Idea

    Hello! First off, i'm not entirely sure if this is the right place to post this as i am brand spankin' new to this site! So don't hate me please!

    Anyways i have just completed this rough draft for a map im making of a fantasy planet currently named "Hades III" I am here looking for name ideas and also what percentage of the planet you think would be water? (Out of pure curiosity) Thanks in advance -Cat Hades III.png

    Hehe, well with a name like Hades III I'd assume very little water 70% land to water maybe?

    Then again according to wikipedia the Greek underworld has a bunch of major rivers and may be located at the edge of an ocean...

    Guess What Falconius! You wont believe this! I used a colour extract tool to find the percentage of colours in the image. You were spot on with 70% Water!colorextract.PNG

    How much water would be on the map would be determined entirely by your reason for making the map, I would think. If you're going for the traditional fantasy "just like Earth, only more so", then 70% water would be a good number because it's just like Earth (71%), only more so. Identifying mountains would nice, then any rivers, biomes, and so on.
