    Default Feb 2017 Challenge: The flat world

    Big fan of terry pratchet i've often wanted to try a map of a flat planet, and this month theme seems perfect for that
    I'm still playing with the concept, trying things but here's a first wip.

    This is looking great. I'm a little sorry there are no turtles or elephant underneath, but you can't have everything! But seriously, I love what you have so far.

    With this type of flat world, I've often wondered "where does the water keep coming from? Why doesn't it run out?" Of course the easy answer is "magic" but how else is the water replenished?
