Faladriand - a large work in progress.

Thank you for pointing all that out again. Definitely when I get back to that point I'll be using all the advice given in this thread. That being said, I'm probably gonna try to stick to the rules as much as I can. Because first you have to understand the rules before you break them. And I want to make sure I understand the nature of rivers, lakes, etc. before breaking rules on them. Even if I go back eventually and change rivers on this world, I'll at least know more than I do now, and will know how to "break the rules" if I feel that's necessary.

Ahhhh, my problems just don't end. But, I'm doing better than I was this weekend. Almost 100% again - keeping busy with my map is helping me, so. It's all good. That said, I honestly have no idea what equirectangular means. I kinda cheated with this map, mainly because I wanted a sense of scale and size. What I did for this map is I took a large scale map of the world (the canvas is 3500 x 2360) and used that as a sort of "scale". It's not exact to Earth's, but I'm happy to have a scale and understand how a map can wrap around a sphere. So, the canvas itself is perfect for wrapping.


I'm 100% sure I'm ready to start the terrain. Though before I do I might play around with locations of the landmasses. I'm happy with their shapes, but I'm not 100% on the locations.

EDIT: Actually, due to everyone being about tectonic plates and such - I'm probably going to spend a bit of time on that. PaGaN's own thread offered some nice insights and a program (GPlates) to help with that, so. I'll probably be doing that. I don't wanna build my terrain and THEN worry about the plates.
