    Thank you Ilanthar! I took it to a printer yesterday and got 2 copies printed (something like 36 x 19 ish) to see how it looks on paper and I was pleasantly surprised. One of my computer screens makes things look so dark, and the other screen makes things look too bright/light colored, so I've been kinda nervous about how it would turn out. I'm glad to hear that it looks good from a Guild Expert! Thank you for taking the time to comment.

    Wip Next steps

    I thought I should make at least some kind of progress post even though I haven't made it very far since my last post. This week has been extra busy and I haven't had much time to work on the fun stuff

    Anyway, I'm still working on the World level for this map right now (although after this post I'm going to start work on a more detailed region). The last version I posted was an Equirectangular or Cylindrical Equidistant (and technically Plate Carree) map projection. Today I'm posting an Equal Area Azimuthal projection developed by Karlheinz Wagner in 1949 (commonly called Wagner VII). This projection (or similar variations) are often used for today's world maps.

    The border and background are not necessarily what I'm going with right now. I was just piecing together a basic look for now.

    Comments and feedback are very welcome...
