Hey, Ilanthar, looks terrific so far. Must say, though, I do like the plain flat version better than the projectioned. Guess I'm just a cartographic conservative. Or something.

But the continental shapes look great, very convincing. The coloring is super, maybe it could stand to use a bit more variety, like more reads? Though the faded feel is cool too, so if you plan to keep it that way, go for it. The relief is flawless, looks very crisp and scaled just right. How did you achieve that? Are they from some resource or done with an effect in Photoshop?
