Well, I'm flattered and no wonder I like them, then .By Joaodafi
In terms of Shapes my main inspiration is your Domhantyr Maps Album.
Update #7
Oh boy, it's been a while since the last update, was... 2018?! Well, better later than never, am right?
during this five years i finished the height map, no real need to show the process since is basicly the same one in the previous updates, one height layer after another, and another and another and another.
here is it, 50% of the real size, 6000 x 6000:

Sorry any grammatical error, I'm better with Portuguese than English.
Update #8
Now that the height map is ready, i can do more interesting things, so i hope the updates will be more frequent...
And speaking of more interesting things, Rivers!!!
The rivers I originally drew were straight and pretty dull, redrawing them more naturally has excited me a lot and helped keep the pace, I can't draw a river basin without automatically imagining a civilization developing on the banks, I should having finished the height map before, to start worldbuilding earlier
Here are the old and new rivers i've done so far:

Best fantasy river basins ever draw by human hand? no...
am I feeling like a rudimentary alternative software of wilbur? Yes.
am I happy about it? Absolutelly!!!

This quickly became a pain in the...
From now on, i'll only add the major rivers and gradualy expand into more datailed basins has needed for world building purposes.

Update #10 - Average temperature
I made some basic wind pattern and ocean currents:

These lead me to a this temperature maps:
Mid Winter (Jan) and Mid Summer (Jun)

For me its hard to tell how realistic and reasonable this temperature maps are, but still, i'm happy with the result

Update #11 - Climate Map
With the temperature map and some idea of the precptation i end up with this climate map, problabily not the most acurate or realistc, but the closest i can get to make the lore i have for it make some sence.
