    Here is the new world... I need to do some major cleanup, the edges are pretty pixelated, it's very low res right now and I have a few artifacts to take care of, but this is the shape and it's not changing.

    I actually used fractal terrains this time, I never realized before that you could paint you're own land forms right in it which was really handy because the generated worlds it creates are really weird with long stringy land masses so it was nice to just paint and have the programme take care of distortion at the same time, plus it randomised the coast for me so it was a big time saver, I may simplify the coast when I finalize it and clean it up, it's a bit over detailed I think for a world map, but for regional sections this should do just fine.

    I prefer the Robinson projection so I'll start with that, here is the "other ocean"

    And here's the main working map

    And the poles, I'm pretty happy with how well the programme dealt with distortion.

    This planet is in the process of breaking apart from a large Pangea type land mass, I'm trying not to get into tectonics this time but I can't say I'm not tempted to throw it into G.Projector and see what happens.
