    Some more tweaking done, and I've enlarged the overall area to assist in adding smaller island archipelagos. I've also done a test in Maya to see just how large the landmasses would appear on an actual globe (based on 600 pixels to 100 miles); I might have mucked up the calculations as I didn't 'copy merged' before adding it to a large map (meaning of my 4400x4200 pixel work area, only the area used was pasted over...), so it might be slightly larger/smaller than it should be. Still, it's close enough for this time around.

    The position of the landmasses on the globe isn't final, in fact I'm yet to decide exactly where it will fit into the grand scheme of things - it will possibly be part of this world's equivalent of the Mediterranean. You'll notice two objects in the background of the one picture - this world has two moons in a 3:4 orbital resonance, with the inner moon transiting across the outer moon; the outer moon is the one that causes eclipses. I made the calculations so that the inner moon has very little effect on the tides, and the outer moon is within the range of values that cover our moon (it's the size of Io, so a little further out than our moon).
